    The passenger compartment is all that matters in these situations. It just looks really dramatic (and to be fair, im sure the crash was mental), but it looks like the car did what it was designed to.

    I can imagine the insurance company now:

    "You told us your car was orange, that matte wrap is classified as a modification so we're voiding your policy" :pac:

    Yup, the chassis did exactly what it was supposed to do - route potentially dangerous crash forces around the cabin, partially-destroying the rest of the car if necessary. Textbook. :cool:

    It seems to be the more wrecked the car looks the more chance the person has of surviving.

    Wouldn't have gotten fast enough to split In half. Even if it had helped with a rocket propelled grenade

    She'll be up on Donedeal by Monday as a Cat d, Only had a little bump on the back, No NCT but will pass no bother.

    On the insurance point about the wrap, You can bet your life that if they're anything like the shower over here they'll do anything in their power to get out of paying that one..
