Can be fixed in hours. Get the parts bought and get it fixed.
Did you a favour with regards to the rear lights.
Mine? Sold it couple of months back, bought another pile of crap since then.

Id be after at least £600 to fix that.
1. the bottom arm is most likely bent...
2. isn't it funny that you simply happened to be out for a drive, not doing anything wrong, and a mk2 golf was so out of shape that it managed to lose the back end & hit you.....................
3. the car is an easy fix though & if the golf is a write off, then yippee

hopefully this means the rear bumper and bootlid will be replaced with standard items
and was you racing bled?! lol just seems a little coincidental that of all the cars that must have been on the road, the one car the Golf did hit was a chavved up Nova :wtf:

If it went to court, 2 chavved up cars, hit each other, then you could wave goodbye to your lisciencelol
Mate depending on how much money you get off your mate, might be better off reshelling tbh, if you get it cheap enough, I know of a 2dr loon with 60k in chelmsford if your interested

the bloke in the golf wasn't a mate!! and I wasn't racing!!!! and sorry if my car doesn't meet your standards but I like my car how it was, I wanted to be different and put a mk2 bumper, but like the way you think I was racing just cos of how my car looked when It wasn't my fault it happen!!!!!
imagine racing your mate and him crashing in to the side of you thats a bummer that is only joking i understand what you ment about changing the wheels then getting the tracking done is the guy local to you and did he aggree to give you money
