Accident damage
#1
I had the pleasure of somebody driving into the back of my scoob the other day and although it will be fixed by the insurers is it likely that the geometry will be out. I got a bit worried when a mate said "it'll never be the same again", but the third party hit me at about 25mph and it only looks like there is damage to the rear bumper.

This happened to my Terzo 3 years ago, in fact it came back better than ever once the geometry had been setup to my specifications.
All this 'it will never be the same again' is bllcks.
Also, get the bodyshop to sort out some of those stone chips / dinks.

Probably only a rear bumper and back panel - they may even be able to repair the back panel if its not to bad. If the geometry has been messed up in the crash they will either replace the damaged components or re-align it on a jig and do a full geometry check and reset it within spec.

Make sure you specify to the insurers that you want all the geometry checked with specialist gear and if there is anything not right then you can make a decision what you will do with it.
Oh and dont forget that exhaust thats damaged
It could be worse mate, you could have a silver Clio......
