tell them its not acceptable, if you declared all your mods add up what they are worth as second hand items and use that to add to what the value of your car would be without the smash. buying back should be no problem too unless its a cat a write off... but i dont think so by the pics. keep on their back cause i got dicked about for ages hen my old s2 got nicked!

ffs strip the fucker quickly and replace with standard bits, if they can find a reason not to pay out they won't, but to be honest is it worth claming and loosing your NCB, you would get more money selling bits to cover the cost or jus tre-shell it, there are loads of 2wd saff shells knockin about
