yes, looks a lot worse than it is, bonnet, headlights, crashbar. radiator is fine. set off from some traffic lights, just after the junction, the old guy in front just stopped. i know its my fault as i went into the back of him. he was sound though as there was no damage to his. he seemed like he thought it was his fault, was only going 5-10mph

i'll just await the claim on insurance for whiplash

i think he saw i was more concerned about his car. he just shrugged his shoulders and said it's one of those things. i'll get my bumper off today check what the damage is properly. glad i don't drive like a tool as it's pretty clear corsa's aren't very good in crashes.

If the old boy goes through insurance, you might as well too as it'll all be a claim against your's anyway.

Fact of the matter is, if he seemed that disinterested, he probably has no insurance anyway and doesn't want to go anywhere near anyone's insurance company.

Plus the front of cars are designed to crumple more than the rear but his could be hiding damage behind the bumper if the bumper ahs popped back into shape

Its an easy fix for me, just strip it down today, and il get the parts tomorow. Just welded the boot yesterday as well. Its probably one of my grandads friends from the pub, il go and see him at weekend, see whats happening. Doesn't seem the claim sort. Just one of those accidents, wrong place at the wrong time.

not bad at all no damage to wings, bumper not cracked just slam panel and bonnet, i'l be getting replacements tomorow. gave him a call, hes fine with it but i said he can take it to my mates garage for a check over. mine would most probably be a write off due to the value.
