Wow. It gets worse. The car has been given a quick once-over by a bodyshop, and it's not looking good. The impact has damaged the A-post, so we're talking shell distortion. The sunroof is not sitting proud at the left front corner, the paint is creased at the top of the A-pillar, the passenger door is hard to shut and there's a gap at the top leading edge of the door frame that a lady could almost get her small finger into.
Will know more tomorrow when the shop is open, the shop owner only came in to receive the car. But, he thinks it's a possibility the car will be a write-off, the shell will need to be jigged.
