I have crashed my car and need some help! :(
Right ive gone round an island too fast, slid into a kerb and now my car is fooked! Here's some pics, i just need an idea on what is likely to need replacing, and or fixing. ive had a little look and it looks like there is fluid leaking from my shock absorber but i haven't got a clue about anything else!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Camber!! ... Just the wrong way.. 
New shock if yours is leaking, will probably need a new rear beam.. Get one from breakers yard. Only held on with 4 bolts if you have to remove it yourself.

As he says, fittingwise it's nothing difficult just requires 2 or 3 people as the beam is heavy...
Might need a new brake disc too..

Dont need two or three people.. need to have the car jacked up with axle stands under each jacking point.. then you can put the beam on the jack.
I replaced my rear beam bushes alone with polyflex ones.. Took couple hours.

surely you can get a rear beam cheaper than that????? when i crashed my 56 plate fiesta zetec s my rear beam sat the same and snapped the alloy (i only had on for 2 months) i went to my local breaker and got a rear axle with hubs etc for £80 and that was for a new car at the time so surely you can get a saxo one cheaper???
but yeah deffo new beam needed no doubt about it

Ask in local scrap yards mate or try ebay.
The 100 posts thing is to protect members from scammers.
