Have a look in the styling section. more thane one person who would not give up there beloved have had them restored. I nearly ended up the same way in the summer. Scared the hell out of the car in front. I didn't brake as I entered a 50 zone thinking the people braking were just slowing for it and all too close. Realising that one was turning right I braked hard (man those are good brakes) and spotted the van behind me could not stop. Had to get so close to the car in front and pray. Take faith http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=668196#Post668196

Ahh jeez...sounds like exactly what happened to me. Except I was at the back of the queue and took the full force You can restore it, check out my thread for some inspiration: http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=522893&fpart=1 . However your heart will definately have to rule your head, for you to go down the repair route, if the damage is half as bad as mine was. Good luck

Looks pretty similar to mine, I'm a bit concerned about a kink in the rear 3/4 panel same location as the fuel cap but on the opposite side.
Did it end up costing you much more to get yours repaired than it would to get another (if there was one for sale)
Thanks for all the support guys (and girl)
If nothing else I want a coupe so I can lurk on the forum - I have been addicted to it for 5 years and need a daily fix.
Who are you insured with? Mine was a mint LE with 50k on the clock and I was offered £3900. After a lot of dicking about I got £5750 which would have bought me a decent LE or Plus. However I just couldn't let my LE go. I've owned it 5yrs and it seemed like such a waste of a car. So I bought it off the ins co. and fixed it myself. I'm about £3k out of pocket with a Cat C coupe that's probably worth bugger all but I'll probably keep it forever. If I were sensible I'd have had my LE scrapped and just bought another one.

It happened in Brough.
I'm just a little concerned that I'll get offered next to nothing judging by what the price guides say.
I paid just over £6k when I bough it with 37k on the clock, now showing 90k approx.
I know I'll be hard pressed to get another in the same colour but maybe its time for an electric blue plus.
The only thing is when you get a new car you never know how its been treated - Mines never missed a beat in 4 years.
Dont mean to ruin your aleady poo day, but i doubt you will get offered more then £3k - however my Electric Blue Plus is for sale!!! PM me sometime when its all been settled...

Really sorry to hear about the shunt, Wads I think Cappo on here had his car restored after a shunt. Carlt did the work if I remember correctly. It might be an idea to pm Cappo and get some advice.

Shame carlt doesn't come on here anymore. He could probably take 1 look at some pics and tell straight away if it's a right off or what the rough repair cost would be.

If you've received a cheque then this must mean you've agreed to the payout value, no? If you cash it you will, you just need to get prices off autotrader/piston heads for cars in a similar condition/price and then go back to the insurers.

Well you have really just answered your own question mate....
Get copies/details of those coops you have seen and get on to the insurance. If that cheque is in addition to you getting to keep your car it might not be too bad, but im no expert.
