i think the police just didnt want to repair it, it was only front end panels, didnt even touch the wings!, but it does state on the logbook it was a write off.

perhaps it was a excuse to reduce fleet/budget costs at time. I got tugged by a plod in a silver one as well, in 2007. wonder ifwas same one lol

there wasnt much to repair really, front panel, rads, boonet , bumper and airbags, the airbags were more of a pain then anything, whole dash had to be changed! but i know it puts people off, just seems a shame to break a good car!! not to many 2006 cars around for under 3k specialy a vrs!!

the only option i think its got is rear parking sensors.
