hey guys.
re mk1 punto (99)
im really stumped for what to do so ive come here for your more then worthy advice.
whist in tesco some lady reversed into me all be it only slightly she bumped my exhaust tip and it has split the pipework completely underneath just before the muffler. i wasnt in the car at the time (shopping) but she left her contact details which i though was nice , turns out shes denying all knowledge of it so shes obviously thought twice about paying out for it.
essentially now im stuck with the bill. i put it in a garage hopeing that the pipes could just be welded togeather although ive just got off the phone to a quote of 204 pounds since i need all new piping and a replacement cat apparently ?
at the moment the car seems to drive ok , i stuck one of those bandage things on it and got to leeds and back fine and only since then has that diy job failed on me. after baout 150 miles .
mot is coming up in a few months and i know my rear shock has already gone to the sum of 160 quid so ive decided to sell the car. however i really need it for this next week and am just wondering what the implications would be if i was just to bandage it up or get a freind to bodge weld it back up and obioulsy decct the aprox cost of a full repair from the final sale value .
so would it be safe just to bodge it up again baring in mind 'apparently ' i need a new cat ? ( i need about 100 miles out of it that all )

i know this is alot of info but i truly need some quick help any advice would be highly appreciated
