i know it looks nothing but when you start pricing it up front wing,doors,rear panel, bumper repair then painting. but wait and see you never know the assessor hasn't been out yet. but i aint letting her go that easy

Thats crap man.....
.........when someone drove round my bumper and crackled loads of paint off it I had no-one to claim off
It wasn't that bad but respray was about £200-300 so I just bodged it for a bit and waited for a cheap bumper.....someone posted one in the EXACT same silver for free on scoobynet(this was back last year) and I just picked it up from him(he was clearing his garage) and put it straight onto mine and it just cost me the petrol
What I am saying is...don't get disheartened....black bugs are rarer but not impossible to get hold of...you never know what will come along...don't give up!
Do they have to be Bug doors? Co I know that the boots are exact matches for upto 2005...so, maybe the doors are???

I thought if the accident was'nt your fault you could demand that your vehicle be put back to it's original condition, regardless if the third party's insurance company want to write it off!

My mate Drew has just acquired ABW's old demonstrator, hawkeye conversion, it's a nice upgrade, I'd like to do next, but headlights are a bit pricey...
Shame about your car tho'.
