Boxing Day evening whilst static at lights an ambulance damaged my passenger wing and front panel plus headlight and my insurers gave it a non economic write off type “N” so I’m allowed to repair and use again with no long term insurance issues. Having stripped out wing, front panel, headlight and the wheel arch liner I’m thinking it is also a good time to replace front suspension as it will be easy to do with it open.

If I do coilovers I would need to do all four corners and want a smoother ride rather than race ride but better than the standard.

My ask is, has anyone done this, what’s best for road use with a little off road and easy adjust.

Best part of this has been picking up the replacement parts same colour match which came from a same batch car that had been badly rear shunted the colour match is spot on and the car had been extremely well cared for. The owner read of my bash asking if I wanted parts helping me un bolt sad as his car had only done 58k from his buying new. But clever guy had sold everything within 10 days as well as been paid off by insurer.

He has bought a Fabia VRs awaiting the new Yeti to come out.
