    Cars can be fixed... lives cannot.
    Thats it, I nearly rolled my car when my Daughter was 6 weeks old, now that scared the crap out of me and wife, being out first child!!

    Atleast the car looks like it can fixed rather easy. Could have been worse!!

    I know what you mean mate!
    Yep, car can be easily rectified.

    My parts list:

    New bonnet
    New Left Headlight and moulding
    New Slam panel
    New grill and GTI badge ( or I might go for a smooth de-badged look)
    Left Front panel needs panel work.

    Hey mate.I feel your pain... I hit a roo in the same spot on my Polo GTI back in may... In my case I was lucky not have seen him or had the the chance to brake before I hit him as I would have collected him with the middle of the car...
    Our damage list is almost the same too...
    -Left headlight Assy.
    -Left fender.
    -Front bumper bar.
    -Radiator support.
    -Bonnet.
    -New passenger door.

    What is it with Polo's and Roo's?



    This one bent the subframe as well as all the cosmetic damage.

    Ouch!
    Double Ouch!
    Yep, I think that left front is a popular spot. Hope your Polos are both fixed now Blitzen and Sports Racer?
    I spotted a corolla on the road today and looked like they had kit a kangaroo in the same spot.

    Mines too slow to consider fixing so I'm parting it out.

    sometimes it aint worth fixin
    Hope you get some money on parts.
    The price of some second hand parts makes me think you could get more than if you sold the car whole!
