Was driving back home from work this afternnoon through the lanes and managed to get my polo onto it's side
I wasnt speeding but still 'skidded' down the road on the loose gravel when a car came up the hill round a corner. Instead of going into the car a went for the bank but when i finally stopped i was too far up the bank and my car just tipped over. In the end it wasnt too bad. Scratches down the side and dents so need new door and panel infront of door then respray that whole side. pics:

Jesus lad, you ok? Something like that is going to shock you a bit! On the upside, i'm breaking my old 1.0 (although it's grey), could do you some decent prices on a door and a front panel?

Yeah it is, doors fairly mint, think the panel has a small mark on it but a respray would sort that. How much would you be willing to pay for it?

well i would get the whole drivers side resprayed whatever panels etc i can find. I have sourced a door in Taunton for £25
Will you sell it with the wing mirror aswell?
the guy who came round the corner just came running at me like 'im calling an ambulance!' but i was fine so he was cool. He said he's glad i didnt hit him lol

Yeah door mirror can come with it as well, although I'm ideally looking for more around the £30-35 mark tbh, The door is basically new! You still on the lookout for a front wing?

Savvaaggee.
My friend did that in his corsa out on the moors, except he was doing 60 and it ended up through a wall and into a ditch.
I was following behind at the time in my polo xd.
Glad your okay mate.
