Managed to do this on the way to work this morning

So I'm after a wing, eyebrow, headlight panel and ideally front inner and outer valance, preferably not anything made by rimmers.

Anyone know where to find these?

Without looking at it properly, the club headlamp mounting panel may suffice to repair the valance, which just leaves the wing and eyebrow. is the inner wing damaged at all?

Just out of interest, what did you hit/get hit by?

I misjudged the level of grip on the road while pulling out of my drive this morning, the back end tried to get away from me, corrected too much and too late, zigzagged down the road for a few yards slowly getting it under control and ended up in the side of a xsara picasso.

Just looked at the list of club repair panels and it does look like the inner and outer valance repair sections might cover all the damage there.

Hard to say how bad the inner wing is without removing the outer, I think it's persuadable back to where it should be.

I've got plenty of electrical and mechanical spares, just bodywork I'm missing (broke an 1850 that was beyond sensible repair a few years ago)

Looks familiar

Mine had slight crease in the inner wing, a hammer would of sorted it out but as I found rust whilst removing old metal I ended up replacing a section of the chassis memeber below the wing. And as the other wing had a big tear in it (old woman pulled out on me *bang* bounced off her in to parked tipper truck hence tear) I replaced the whole front end in one

Â£50

Easy

Have you contacted Anglea or Graham see if they have any local contacts?

Graham had a look at the car when I was taking it out to austin morris in afton for a quote, there was some concern that there might be structural damage but it looks to just be cosmetic.

Frank said "insurance wise it's not economically repairable, but if you can get the parts I can fix that"

Frank is a great bloke. If anyone can fix it Frank can!

I have a couple of s/h driver's wings, not perfect, but most useable.
