I hit a curb....

I hit a curb on a roundabout doing about 35-40.

The MINI is being towed to the dealership in the morning.

I will post more pictures when I get them.


I thought I posted this in this sub topic....

curb feelers wouldn't have helped much in this situation. The wheel nearly fell off the MINI... the strut tower bolts are the only thing holding it all on. I went and looked at it today. Looks a lot different in the daylight. I fogot to take pictures.... I will get some at the shop before they start work on it this week.

OK inital parts estimate 6800-7000 from the dealership.

The bill would double+ with labor...

Has to be approaching "totalled" with that estimate.

That is what I was thinking too. However, if the subfame is bent it won't matter what the cost is. I think it sill would be totaled. My body shop should have it by this afternoon and I should get an insurance extimate by tomorrow.
