My car got into an accident a few weeks ago, go sandwiched so bumper, grill, hood and headlights were basically gone. Sad thing was, I thought this would be an easy fix, just put on the stock parts since it was driving perfect afterward!

Just on a side note,for those who remember member yelozx3, I got my car from him.

So much for mounting the superleggeras on and tracking this summer, I will be selling them soon

Oh man, sorry to hear about this ... I hope you're okay. I know from experience how little damage it takes to write off a Focus.

Even if it wasn't your fault, I'm afraid you're in for a bit of a fight to get what the car's really worth; and fixing it really isn't an option because once the insurance company declares it a "total loss" you will have to jump through hoops to get it licensed again, and it will always have a "rebuilt" notation on the ownership - which essentially means forget about ever selling it.

I just recently went through this with my red track rat (long story, I guess I'll post up about it some time) and even with all my receipts for every part I put on it, I still couldn't get what the car was worth - so I had to get creative.

Anyway - again I hope you're okay and don't be shy about asking for input if you think you're being screwed by the insurance company.
