Default I've had a bump.

I slid on the ice with my 05 fiesta and dented the A piller post on a lamp post but the windscreen is't cracked, I also bent the rear axel when the rear wheel hit the curb side on. Is any of this fixable (I'm consearned abought the A piller most).

Cheers, Chris.

Yeah, its just that garages take the pith a bit when getting a car fixed on the insurance, a girl I work with rippled the door on her Suzuki Alto the other week in our car park at work....

Although the garage shouldn't have told her how much they had charged her insurance company to fix it she got it out of the bloke...... Ł915! to fix a door on a Suzuki!

Sure the parts and a spray job could have been done for under Ł300! probably less!

Got any pics - its hard to say due to damage on the a post.

Rear end sounds easy though as they build in weak links just for that type of accident
