Default Posi Furio Progress... Ideas/Help needed! :)

Hey guys, i need a wee bit of help with my Saxo as i crashed and need a bit of advice on how to fix her! The damage isnt too bad i think, but i went to the Pug body shop in Inverness and they said they don't deal with Quinn Direct

Anyway!

Had my Saxo for just under a year now (got it 6 months before i could drive just because it was close )
It was listed at the garage for £1950 but managed to get it for £1600
Its a 52 Reg which had 52,000 miles on the clock (58,000 now)





So that was the car when i got her!

I turned 17 in decemeber and passed my test in April (Second time lucky)
and then a couple of months later i crashed into the side of a van



Tryed to clean it a wee bit









Any advice on how to fix it ??



Also i have a heck of alot of rust on my boot lid just under the window, is it worth just buying a new boot ? as im wanting to get it debadged anyways...







On the brighter side i managed to de-wiper my saxo today with the Preds guide!

Before...



After!



Soo much nicer! although the hacksaw had to do the job as the nut holding it on was so rusted


Also have mesh to mesh the front grill and the front bumper (once ive got the front end sorted) and i have fusion components which fit but are too deep so i need to have a bash at making speaker pods


And my mates selling a set of alloys for £100, need your guys opinion on them think these would look good??

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers Guys!

Think you'd just need to replace the damaged parts, is it only cosmetic damage? And I wouldn't go through insurance as you'll lose your no claims

Got any plans for it?

with regards to the boot, what most prob happened, someone when into the back before, and the seal around the window wasnt put on properly and water got in

and before you start modding, id get the work done to get it back to normal

Cheers guys!
So just a new bumper you think and a new boot yeah ?
Plans are too...

Lower it 50mm
Get some white alloys (going for blue and white theme )
K & N induction kit with a cold air intake that comes in from my smashed front fog saving buying a new one
Debadge
3" backbox
Mesh front grill and bumper
And hopefully get round to fitting in my components!

Any opinions about what to do with her?
