Yeah I hate how big they make cars now. Huge and plastic-ky. BUT yes I guess that helps save your life but they look so damn ugly. I'm sticking with our sexy shaped 's thank you

Omg though has anyone seen the new puma!? I like that!

Yup. I know it's only a photoshop from Auto Express so far, so it should be taken with a big pinch of salt, but it does look good:

Thanks for your comments guys! I would upload a pic but the image uploader isnt working for me?!

I managed to source some parts quite cheaply. Ive got a new bonnet (unsprayed) £40, front bumper with fogs and lower grille (sprayed) £200, headlight £45, numberplate £15 lol. Unfortunately looking under the bonnet closely, i noitced the air conditining condenser which sits behind the cross member (crash bar) has been bent in the middle from the impact of the bumper. Hopefully the radiator behind is undamaged!! Wont know til its stripped down.

The night I crashed, the engine wouldnt start and i thought the damage might have been alot worse! Luckily I had my buddy next to me who is a Ford mechanic, and managed to get the engine running by pressing a reset button behind the glove box near to the fuse box!! The car had gone into a safe mode shutting everything down, so as it didnt catch on fire. Nice to know that worked!!! Just a shame i had to drive into a wall to find out!!!

Guys, if a bumper has been fully sprayed in one colour, a body shop could respray in another colour pretty easily?!
