How screwed am I
Honestly it doesn't seem too bad. Went into the back of someone towbar I think took a brunt of it.
15-20MPH impact
How much could this set me back ? I don't expect anyone to know specifically but from what I can see I definetly need a new front piece, there is a metal bar inside thats slightly bent but could be bent back ? maybe a new bonnet lid or maybe can be bent back ?
Might need a new headlamp, which is annoying because I've only just replaced it.
The other issue is I kind of need the car right now. Nothing is bent into the engine and the wheel arches are ok.
The bonnet is a bit loose and the car registers it as open (but the latch mechanism is intact and holding it) - can I get away with driving it to work and back ? (1.5 miles each way, 30 roads) - obviously cant go driving at 70mph incase that bonnet flies open.
I'm not too well versed in damaged cars. It doesn't look like it would be unsafe to drive for a week or two til I can figure out whether it can be repaired.
