http://www.overtongarage.co.uk/ they have a few damaged clio's and r expensive usually but worth a look. My mate repaired a 99 plate clio, plastic wing, grille, head light and bumper but i dont think it was too expensive took a while to get a grille tho. He paid £1600 for it 1.5yrs ago, used it to pass test and sold it to his g/f for £2k who rolled it 2 days after passing her test and was 3rd party only

What parts are needed to repair this clio i'm looking at ?
So far i think it needs.
Bumper
wing
bonnet
grill
two headlights.
Shouldn't be that much should it ??
My mate has a clio and he bumped his. It had very similar damage and cost him £400 to repair.
how much you reckon?

i think seeing that your wanting to do this yourself you need to know alot more about repairing cars than you appear to

Well my mates car cost £400 to be fixed at a garage. I aren't an expert but i can do simple jobs like bolting on new bumpers and replacing headlights.
if not i have a friend who can, then if not i'll take it to a garage.
All i'm asking is if it is worth buying because to me it looks like a rather simple replacement parts job, there appears to be no major damgage to the chassis etc.

my m8 does it all the time, repairs crashed motors, only the light crashed ones though, and he make a fair few quid on them when he comes to re-sell them

custom panels 
that custom u can walk into a dealer and buy them 
or to save some cash of the rebuild but the repilica bumper wings and grill
