Gutting. Best to just get over it. What goodies are saveable?
Someone burnt my cinq this time last year and it sucks biking to work in this weather

Looks like the roof has creased .
Insurance won't even bother offering to keep it on the road, most likely anyway. You may be able to push it if you wanted, and get it sorted (I say do it).
Shame as I always liked your cinq purf.
Thanks

If no other cars were involved then I wouldn't bother claiming and loosing your ncb, unless you don't have any.
Mine has gone to the big scrap heap in the Sky, I have advised the insurance company to recover it, How muuch of my NCB do you think i will lose. I have full NCB.

what did you hit,a kerb or bollard?
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I hit a kerb at about 20mph totally unexpectedly as i drive through them every day on the way to work. Then the car went into a gate post. No ice and the road was dry. Just stupid traffic calming kerbs! there was not even anyone else passing through, just my error.
Rear bumper is wrecked completely, pass wheel i think is ruined, front abarth bumper is salvagable I think. Skirts are ok. Its just the shell and probably Pass side suspension mounts which are totalled. oh and the screens popped out as well as the pass door doesnt open at all!
got the car stored so i can dismantle it. My excess was double the cars value so i didnt claim for my car.
Shell did hae a small amount of rust/hole inside the rear arch and it has done 122k miles so its not the end of the world. Im most gutted about the wheel! as I was gonna use them on other fiats i may have in the future...

Wheels can be straightened so I wouldn't worry until somewhere says that it's not salvageable.
Thanks

Checked the car out today to confirm my thoughts that its too far gone.
Roof is creased as spotted by Todger
Sill is mega bent, door opening is smaller than door... see pics
Its good side:
I havent looked at whats happened to the wishbone / ball joint yet...
Have decided to get another cinq cos no other car comes close: low cost, high practicality and fun.
+ i have loads of bits to keep one going forever.
Started stripping interior as its filling up with water
