  • On the cheap or properly?

  • Who knows?

    What's wrong with it beyond what you can see?

    With all due, if you need to ask the question don't buy a damaged car!

    Just drive it around with the dents in. Not much point spending money on a £500 car, you'll never get your money back.

    is it legal if i drive like that?can police say anything? thanks
  • For £500 live with it.

    Therotically assuming it's just cosmetic damage you've got £1000-1500 there without doing much, unless you fancy a DIY job?

    Unless there are any exposed edges a kiddie could stick their finger in and hurt themselves, the damage is only cosmetic and doesn't extend further in to the vehicle structure, nothing falls off, and the lamp is correctly aligned then it's perfectly roadworthy.

    Costs exceed repairing it properly though.
  • Looks ok, the damage would write that car off on an insurance claim, looks ok so just drive it.

    Looks like a normal Nissan Micra to me........ Except the parking lights aren't on.
