Going round a roundabout, approached an exit when an unmarked police car pulled out from the wrong lane onto the road....

I decided to floor it to clear the road for him but the young girl in front had stopped....

At least you didn't blame it on a wheelie bin

Any obvious crumples in the front pillars ?

Looks pretty superficial from here.

As long as the main structure isnt majorly bent you should be able to put her right without too much fuss. At least youre unhurt mate, thats all that matters

What did the unmarked copper have to say about it??

OUCH!

Looks like it can be repaired for a few quid, be a shame to total it just for that amount of damage.

oh ****, sorry to see this Ian


A good excuse to go for the facelift front end now.

as Frayz said, all looks cosmetic but only so much you can see from a photo.

Hope you and the girl in the car in front are ok.

if you need anything just give me a call mate
