I will try and take some tomorrow. Ive only got a phone camera though so I doubt they will be any good quality wise.

I've Scraped the front right hand side bumper and dinted the right hand side wing.

The left hand side sill has a big dent to the back, pushed up into the rear door.

Hi!!!

I’m not sure if I’m going down the insurance route or not yet. I’m getting a quote for repair on Monday, (its still drivable)

As its a company car, they pay for insurance I’ve got to pay up to £250 (this is my excess on the insurance) if it costs less than this I pay for it. If its more than £250 then the company decide if its worth loosing the no claims discount on the company policy or pay the difference.

Can you claim for new wheels on insurance too? They are soooo scratched!!

I’ve took some pics of it today but I cant find the USB cable for my phone. I will upload them as soon as I find the cable.

I thought it had been ok in the snow to be honest. It was my own fault I had the accident, I just wasn't concentrating and going to fast for the thawing road conditions. Lost it, my reactions weren't quick enough simple as that. I'm gutted but have got no one else to blame but myself.

Not going to do the wallet any good though, hence me being sat at home on a Saturday night, to save money, lol
