It sounds a bit funny but I think you were pretty lucky??

Could have easily grabbed a wheel and dragged the chassis leg or creased the roof.

Cold comfort but pretty easy repair.

thats a bitch, could have been much worst though, if you want to take si up on the offer of tech 1 parts i may be having a tech 1 kit off him so would willingly pick up stuff and bring it back this way as at some point in the next 3 weeks ill be passing through on my way back to swansea.

(at least i called first refusal on the tech 1)

Right all the bits are swapped of the blue one on to the Alpina. but I'm short a few things. I need a pre face lift passenger side headlight and a drivers side fog light as the rustyscrews snapped into the housing and its nakerd. Trawled the local scrap yards and all i could find were face lift cars. :(
