Well, just an update - write off

Repair quote including parts, labour and vat came in at just over £19k

- not helped by the fact that being a BMW/MINI approved repairers, apparently it’s standard practise on a front end collision to replace all steering and suspension, even if not damaged, to ensure car is safe.

Hey ho, now to try and find another with the rediculous spec of this one!

I stand corrected on that one. Good luck with the car search.
