    Sorry to hear.

    Rad ok?

    Bolt on a new wishbone and you'll have that moving again. Driveshaft will be fine I suspect.

    bad luck, but good luck you didnt hit anybody else
    A minor off is a good excuse to give your car a facelift anyway.

    Unlucky Buddy.
    At least its repairable. Just think if you where going 10-15mph more, it could of been a hell of alot worse.

    easy repair tbh, bolt on parts? will be worth far more fixed than broken +parts esp as there is no insurance claim against it.

    Just get a 50 banger while its off the road.

    Might be difficult finding arosas in the yards but there must be some.

    Where's the oil leak coming from and how much is it leaking? Could it be PAS fluid?

    Very good chance the rack will be fine on that sort of impact. It's the PAS hoses I'm thinking of.

    I've driven a car like that back from circuits with a replacement wishbone, and a wishbone will definitely have it driveable again, preferably with a new ball joint on it. The chances are a wishbone will put your geometry straight immediately, though a tracking check won't go amiss.

    Cosmetically though, I sympathise like mad. That's the real nightmare.

    Take the wheel off and have a proper look, you cant see exactly whast happened just from poking your nose under the bonnet!!!

    As for the bumper, get a 2nd hand one, even if it is a different colour and just pay to have it painted. Check a few bodyshops out and talk to the sprayer directly, often they are willing to do private work on the side for cash!!! ;)

    That also looks like you will need a new headlight as the mounting points have broken off, again that would be easy enough to get 2nd hand from a Seat breaker.....

    Thats really not as bad as it looks, cant see that costing more than 500 to sort and thats if you have to pay full money for the bumper to be painted.

    i think uv got off lightly there mate,missed your chassis leg at least.. then it would have been an expencive one if it had caught that!

    stil a ****ter crashing thoe! btw are you buying your parts direct from seat?
    if so id look around other places that sell genuine parts (if you want genuine parts back on) a place called "parry motor parts" sell all genuine and non genuine parts!
