It looks like he hit you fairly hard, glad you're both ok. Did that skinny wheel and tyre on the pavement come from his car? No wonder he couldn't stop in time!
Unless the hardtop is specifically listed on the insurance as being fitted to the car, I would suggest that you have legitimate grounds for removing it when you collect your other belongings that you were carrying with you in the car.
Out of interest, where did you get the cill extensions attached to the underside of the aeroskirts?

Glad you're ok
Part out a few things if you can to ease the pain

Glad you are ok and walked away and nobody was hurt.
That must have been a nasty shock.

So sorry to hear this, glad you are ok, which is the important thing. Years ago I had a hand painted Mini Metro cave in the back of my car (it was an Escort) at a set of traffic lights, and the old guy got out of the Metro looked at his and then my car and said, not much damage, we wont say anything about it! 
ldman: Luckily we have dashcams now to capture incidents like this, I've just fitted one in my G29.

Other than that, ship shape & Bristol 
A big thank you for your kind works and positive thoughts 
Hopefully buy the car back and strip it for parts, I’ll use this thread so I know who asked first for what etc
So whilst I’ve been laid up I’ve been looking at a replacement, I’ve never driven either model so your thoughts would be appreciated. I do around 5k miles a year, use a car daily, outside 24/7. A priority (up there for the first time
) is comfort
1st choice, purely because I’ve always loved them and it’s an itch that’s always been there 8) It’s now or never with this. Back of my mind is saying ITS NOT REALLY A DAILY
2nd Choice no brainer really but 3 Litre this time. I love the model in this colour, not too keen on the seat colour but that’s a minor issue.

3rd choice is a BMW 4 Series............

Work out what bits you want to keep and i'm looking at two days work................. assuming you have somewhere to store the parts?jock156 said:Cheers Martin, I’ll need to slip it into the conversation with Linda but how long would it take to strip the parts so the car can finally be scrapped and off my drive, just so I know timescales etc
A lot of good bits will fit in a couple of large boxes of course. The exhaust may be a challenge to save in that time. The almost new blue roof will hopefully find a new home quickly, as should the hard top and MFSW. Hopefully the aero sills survived too.
Juast need you there with a laptop, advertising each part as it comes off.enuff_zed said:Work out what bits you want to keep and i'm looking at two days work................. assuming you have somewhere to store the parts?jock156 said:Cheers Martin, I’ll need to slip it into the conversation with Linda but how long would it take to strip the parts so the car can finally be scrapped and off my drive, just so I know timescales etc

If you are brave enough and have that emergency fund, go for the 850 and rest assured they are a future classic that will only appreciate.
However I am neither brave nor rich and have a Z4 3.0 30i in deepsea blue.
Keep recovering.
