That will polish out, with a bit of t-cut... :P

As long as the chassis legs and engine haven't been damaged, I'd class that as light too.

That is light. It's missing a bumper so the damage looks worse...

Light panel damage my ass. Bring that into any body shop and they'll suck loudly through their teeth, tell you its a big job, and price you accordingly.

I see 2 damaged wings, bonnet ****ed, new bumper needed, 2 headlight clusters, probably foglights for the bumpers. and thats for starters.....

It's described as light. Not cheap. I think you're confusing the two terms.

Thats big money for a damaged car. The back of the car looks all wrong. They would look better with the lamps in the boot door also if ya know what I mean..

It's fair to assume that there should be a correlation. Granted there doesnt appear to be serious structural damage, but you'd still have to sink a fair few bob into that to have it presentable, no?

Owen

I've no doubt it'd cost a few quid to put right, but that's not how the guy has described it. He described it as light damage, which to be fair, it looks like. There's only cosmetic work needed to replace damaged panels and fittings. There's no chassis straightening on a jig or anything like that.

The add doesn't say 'cheap to repair' or 'parts not expensive'. It says light damage, which is all the car has. It looks like you basically have to bolt on some new panels/lights etc and your away.

An afternoons work for a panel beater, seriously.
