But at those sort of costs...is it even worth fixing ? I've seen lots of worse cars driving about.
Well I am more than happy to not touch it, it drives perfectly well how it is so I am happy leaving it as is!
Ultimately if I came across a bumper or bootlid in the right colour and it was cheap i'd buy it but certainly wont be putting new panels on it!
