Absolutly Gutted!  The first thing that jumps to mind is Darn! nothin' worse than denting your shiny chrome bumpers and then you notice that's the least of yr worries, at least the lights are Ok.  Looks like you have a winter/spring project unless you have classic insurance and an agreed value policy??  Hope yr OK, keep smiling!

I'm fine thanks and so is the car just bodywork!  Saw that front panel on ebay, bit pricey @ £82, found this site and they are much cheaper!  What do you think?

Wow, that website is awesome. Insurance policies are almost pointless. They always love a right off. Good to see you're ok, driving on ice is so fun ...until you hit something and stop. I had the same thing on my 500, where I skidded into a post and narrowly missed a dear (would've been softer though!) For me, it was a good time to replace filler ridden panels, your car looked pristine. You'll have it back to better than before very soon i'm sure.

Sorry to hear about your accident, but your ok which is the main thing!

I think Beever Panels are supplied by Hadrians Panels http://www.carpanels.co.uk/index_catalogues.htm. I have had trouble with Beevers and Hadrians Panels listing panels that they do not stock and cannot get, but you may have more luck. If you do order with Hadrians Panels you can probably find a local stockist, so that will save you a bit on the postage.

The repair doesn't look to bad, but the rear wing repair may be a bit tricky. How is the roof pillar? looks like it may be a bent dented :(

So sorry to see your motor looking so glum. Fu(king black ice did the same thing to my celica GT4 a couple of years back. Took me about 3 months and a lot of hard graft to get it straight, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't give up on it.  [-/

hello mate i thought id made a post yesterday but somehow its dissapeared! well beevers panels as pete says are by far the cheapest give them a try, i have a door handle if you want it and also any internal door parts if you need them . let me know if you need them. mick

Thanks Bis 13, I need that handle as mine is buggered! 

Is the front panel the same for all 126's, air and Bis?  I can get a front wing from Axel gerstle and front panel for £65 + postage!  If front panels are the same on all 126's I will get that from beevers.  All I need now is a door!

On closer inspection it looks like the rear wheel arch is savable, I am going to get a quote from my body repair man on friday so will know for sure what needs doing then, I will keep you all posted!
