these pictures are the result of what happened when i was driving through an intersection with a green light and some inconsiderate young girl decided to turn right into the side of me coming the opposite way. we both had a green light to go straight and she thought that gave her right of way, even though she needed a green arrow to have the right of way.
anyway i thought i may as well share my pain with the rest of you. im having withdrawal symptoms already lol       and what it looked like before

Sorry to see your pain- heres a couple of tips from an old fella who over the years learnt the hard way.
With side impacts always get all 4 wheels checked for buckles. It can happen and Azzurro's are not cheap. If any are make the silly girl pay.(or at least her insurance company) The other tip is to go through your insurance identifying her as the party at fault and if she is insured with someone else this usually gets everything fixed without squabble and without cost to you with them forwarding the bill to her insurer.

thanx guys
yeah howesy i made sure they knew she was at fault im with shannons they've been great so far. really i didnt know that about all four wheels i knew the rear drivers was damaged but didnt know the rest could buckle too. one good thing is it was only a low impact smash she had only just taken off i think didnt hit that hard couldve been a lot worse.

Shame to see mate. I hope the repairs are done well enough not to be noticed on such a well kept ride.

Ohh, *comfort!*
Hope you get it fixed okay. When they repair the wheels, do they fill in any chips and dents with a special filler like with panel work? Or do they just sand it down or something?

Good to see its fixed and it was a good repair job. I hate seeing repair jobs that have had corners cut.
