LOL at not driving with that damage, i once towed a mini home that had no glass, no engine, no bonnet, lights etc. I was sat on a milk crate with only the handbrake to slow me down. Got it home no probs 
Also got towed in Mini-Marcos in similar condition (fibreglass thing) that both a-posts had disintegrated so the roof flapped about. Fookin tow rope was rotten and kept snapping until it was about 2ft long

i've seen so many boyracer fibreglass cars that have rougher edges than that
but on a more serious note Andy, flat tow it to the bodyshop, just find a mate with another car & some rope, you can leave your car running so your brakes & power steering work ok, Bobs your mums brother

theres not a court in the land that will convict you of driving that car straight to the body shop as its been siad before in this post just tape the whole thing up there not a damm thing the police can do about it,you are not doing anything ilegal.just drive the damm thing and stop being a drama queen
