Default My Slight Off at Prescott in the 3 Door

Last weekend in practice I got it all abit wrong heading into Semi Circle at Prescott at decided to see if the 3 Door could fly (it can't btw)
Sailed off the black stuff slide down the bank and came to rest is a tyre barrier.
Dented the Quarter Panel (managed to get the big dent out) bend the exhaust (my bloody new exhaust! currently being repaired) smashed my rear light Ghia one with the black lines (managed to find one on eBay the next day RESULT!) bend the sub frame on my seat
But most devastingly of all cracked the and now there is piece missing from my Ford Motorsport headlight cover
Oh and the rear bumper is pretty shagged too there is a crack in and I've broke all the mounting clips off the nearside

Here's a few photos and a video if you skip to 1:01 you can see me exiting stage left:

Got it repaired enough for Sunday and broke my PB so plenty more to come I hope.
