Hi mate thanks again for your support.

Please see below images of what happened, if you can let me know your thoughts on damages/costs etc that would be very helpful.

I've spoken to insurance (yet to have value confirmed etc) but they have said everything will be taken into consideration, from my LPG conversion to my personal number plate retention costs if necessary. So that's all good.

Please see below pics. Hopefully I'll get a call soon from insurance (maybe few days) to get things moving. Courtesy car should be sorted out too on the 3 parties insurance.

















And this is the distance the car was shunted back (from people to where car is)...

I have a £10 riding on it been written off mate,...

Sorry to hear that

Is it just the angle of the headlight panel against the inlet - or has the engine been moved back towards the left? I'd get it in the air and have a nosey underneath and see if mounts have moved. Is the car in your possesion still? Don't let it out of your sight.

Engine looks like its ok and in normal position. Air bags went off too which hurt a bit.

Van at fault. Came out of a side road onto a main road, hit another moving car which made it come into my direction and smash into me head on, leaving the other car on my side of the road, but on the path. Everyone ok just having check ups as I do genuinely think I have a case of whiplash as does my mrs who also very very shaken. Still today cant stop crying and very confused. Hard to take it all in but will be ok once I get things moving with the claim... (being sorted).

Just posted pics for Carl to see the damage as may be a great help

100% write off depending if u have a fixed value of your car. A friend done this but not as bad and they wrote it off. Not worth fixing in there eyes. Hope your ok tho

That is a sad sight after all the love you give that car. To be honest it looks like there is no repairing that.

if memory serves once the air bag goes off it's a new ecu as well!

I'm with Dan that engine doesn't quite look like it's sitting right could just be the camera angle as he says but their's not much in the way of stability from the bottom engine mount so could just be that that's a little off!

Bad news mate, sorry to see this.

Was a very tidy car, lets hope there is no chassis damage!

Sadly its that time of the year where the snowy/icy conditions seem to claim a number of 6's/rallyes and im afraid i think that will be written off aswell.
I cant see anyway that will not be beyond economical repair.

Hope the transition is as painless as possible fella but like others have said i think you will be best off looking for a new 6

my gti6 was wrote off for OSF impact, needed a wing headlight and bonnet was rippled a little bit. that's a gonner for sure, it'll be fubar underneath. mine had a fair amount of chassis damage and it was a tiny shunt

time to live for another car!
