Thanks bad news monkfish.
It was my ins company that told me when they pick up my scooby they will drop off the courtesy car for me and I have it for how ever long it takes to fix my car. Thanks for the warning, I will double check that.

Haha. Yep! 100% guaranteed!

God I would never buy an ex hire car. Lol.

Cracking result with your scoob though, thank god! Have they listed what they are going to replace then? So no chance of going Hawkeye?

I think the wings need replacing to go hawk eye and my wings are all ok.
Going to replace bonnet, grill, headlighs, radiator and possibly inner wings and there is some damage there to, they will know more when they start to strip it all off.
I'm happy as there was slight dent on the bonnet when i bought it where someone had tried to close it and dented it. It will also get rid of all the stone chips.

Cool. To be honest yours looked mean as blob anyhow so will be good to get it looking just right. My hawk has 3 tiny finger dents on the bonnet where the garage closed it. Always really annoyed me!

Will do, thanks. And I'll let you know about the headlight. It is detango'd so I'll have to do that to the new ones.

Tell the repairer and say you will be getting it checked afterwards and will not accept any patent parts. If they so then find another bodyshop.

All parts should be stamped Subaru. Just check the car over before you sign for it. If you see anything untoward. Knock it back.

Tomorrow is the day to get my scooby back, (I hope).
The only thing I'll miss about the C1 is the fuel bill
