um have a few questions.

1. do u have full comprhensive insurance
2. does the guy who hit u have insurance

if both of these answer yes, then contact your insurance and get it fixed by a panel beater at the cost of him or pay your excess and get it fixed,

in a rear end acco a lot more can be wrong then what u can see,

When someone rear ended me, I just passed my car onto the panel beater and he did the rest! I did not even have to speak to my company at all.

Payaya, where are you located (in Syd?)

Sounds like my sort of panel beater

He suggested it, i thought it was common practice when your vehicle is not at fault??

Call around, make sure you get a place with a courtesy car, as it could take a while to get repaired.

If you have trouble getting parts, ive got a rear bumper, boot and wing, but you are best going through insurance and your preferred repairer and let them do the work for you

if they have no insurance the norm does not apply I assume.

Thanks a mill guys. No one had insurance and i let it lapse coz i was heading os for a while. It just got started and driven a little bit and left in the street while my brothers moved our other cars out. My dad was a panel beater and wants to know where we can get parts to repair it.

Damn am I glad that you said your dad is a panel beater. Don't have my FTO anymores but when someone rear ended me it didn't look but but it cost like $4800 to fix cause the parts he had to get were expensive. I had to have my entire boot lid replaced, the whole rear bumper, everything. Sucks... The panel beater who did mine is in the mines now so I can't ask him where ho got the parts. I ended up with a GPX wing though on my GR.. Ha ha!!

well, this is probably a good time for you to chase down some after market parts and wack them on instead of the stock, cos it's going to end up costing u an arm and a leg anyway lol
good luck
