Hi all, as title said was involved in a ding, just wondering if anyone knows roughly how much it should cost to bend back the radiator support and fix drivers side headlight bracket..

ALso, when it happened, car was running obviously, and was able to keep driving for 15min to my girlfriends, but next morning it won't start, and can only hear petrol pump..
Anyone have any idea what it could be? the smash repairer said hasn't had much of a chance to see but has no idea why won't start.

The smash repair guy (brother of my girlfriends coworker) said he could fix bumper bar and radiator support etc and it would be around 1k to fix, and any parts i needed i supply.
Does that sound about right?

the whole accident from outside only appears to have damaged front bar and obviously bent the radiator support(wasn't able to open bonnet) it was under 15km/h when occurred.

Any help much appreciated
cheers

Brendon, I highly recommend you take some pics of the damage and send it to Michael Ercan, who is a panelbeater on this forum. He has Soarer's. Has repaired loads for a good price. He's likely to repair quite a bit cheaper than $1,000 in labour.
He has good contacts as well. Source whatever headlights you might need yourself off this forum. Some guys wrecking cars at the moment, or Aaron (Rampart), Neil (Rush Imports), that should keep your costs down.
Let me know if you could do with my spare front bar. I guess yours in knackered, seeing you didn't respond to my email.

Not starting might be a damaged battery.

Sorry michael, been out all day and at work, i read your email just after posting this thread. I was just waiting till i found out from the current guy how bad it really is and whether it wasn't that bad to fix. i am going to look at the car tomorrow. i will talk to you soon about it mate, once i've taken a better look at it, now that the bonnet is open. i told the current guy just to fix the the radiator support and front bar support then i'll take it back from him.

Peter, apparently battery appears fine, but its not even making a noise like its a dead battery.
alarm is working too, so its not that.
