Drove it back to work slowly for further inspection....reqs bonnet, bumper, headlights, grill, radiator, top hose, intercooler mount, poss intercooler (will pressure test monday).

It's all stripped out now, but not sure if i should give Gary a call or not, as i'm fully comp with protected ncb, but as its stripped out not sure if they will want to look at it or not, plus i don't want it going into a bodyshop i'd rather get the bits and do it myself....not sure if that would be a option going through insurance.

Sorry to hear that mate. Sounds like you have it under control though. In the long run it may be cheaper to do it yourself if you can.
