Strange why plod wheels are std PFL Softstars though on a FL model.

On reason I raised that point is when I bought my Elite 3.2 it had 16inch Softstars fitted although no history of being Plod with private owner from new

Nope. Cd spec alloys. Look a bit like softstars in the pic as the wheel is turning.

Both prety awfull imo, but each to their own

Yea, 16" CD's, another pic with it standing still, most pre 2000 plods had 15", Steels, post 2000/1 seem to come with the 16" CD Alloys.

With the Police Suspension set up both the 15 and 16's handle bang on, compared to 17" LP or upwards in my opinion.

Like this red you mean

oh dear!!!

The additional comments says: MED FRONT ..... If that is medium, what would hard look like? 

A weeks hard graft would see that on the road, needs a new slam panel, bonnet and nearside wing, both headlights bumper gubbins, and near side inner wing straightening...

If you look closely, you can see that the nearside end of the slam panel support has torn away from the chassis rail. Looks alot worse than it actually is... hasn't even popped an airbag...

Shame it's being broken, but I guess the mileage prevents it from being a viable repair... requires about £300 of professional work... namely positioning/welding the new slam panel in place and painting it. The rest is easy diy work... possibly a grand in parts... new rad/condensor/slam panel/headlights, the rest readily available second hand

Nah most of that damage is from the bonnet folding, with an element of impact damage to the NS corner... gone into the back of a truck at an angle at a guess... "Oh shit, brake and a panic swerve flourish to finish"

Tricky to tell just from pics, but I would wager that the chassis rails are where they were when the left the factory

Insurers would have washed their hands of it at first glance...

Headlight assembly, £280 x2
Bonnet assembly, £350
Bumper cover, £300
NS wing, £250

That's over a grand for the cosmetic stuff, let alone anothe £300 for the slam panel, plus paint, labour etc. I would be surprised if they had actually even bothered to look at it

I would have thought most of the kit bolted under bonnet to nearside inner wing would be foooked as well

Ah, you mean the battery

The relay box is probably ok, only located by two plastic rivets...
 Ok I simplified the list, and all the silly little clips etc cost a relative fortune, but point is that car was perfectly repairable before the insurers got stuck in

Of course, Al, you are assuming this car was in motion when the damage was done.  It may have been parked, and something hit it, hence no deployment of the 'Bags.

Just throwing that out there.

[05omegav6]

The damage done to mine was definitely moving and no bags
