Unlucky chaps, glad everyone is ok and the car looks repairable. What a PITA, after all you've done to the car. As Redline says, just as well the bodykit hadn't been fitted.

@ 990, same as Chris, what dealership is this, as doors are required, some wings, etc. and if they're the right price this dealership will soon shift some! Cheers.

All the best Foggy, hope all is sorted asap.

Pete

Hey, the Foggmobile is a GLE, not a GLT - so no fog lights.........

there is a company called the motor insurance buereau ( yes MIB I know but I dont think Will Smith is anything to do with it ) they help with compensation for uninsured losses such as this heres the link
