I've been offered this but I'm worried it bent! Fabdirect state "its not damaged but in good used condition"

Maybe it's just the angle of the picture?

The strut top is crippled to f**k! If it's cheap but it and see but I'm thinking it'll be miles off
 
That looks like the coupe Jonny has posted about if it's fab direct. In which case look at the pics - that's fucked from the front passenger impact. What a bunch of cowboys saying it's fine...

And some more evidence that's Tom's old car, as he had a strut brace...
 
Looks fine to me!!!! If you're after the front wheels looking like giraffe's legs whilst having a drink!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously though who do these cowboys think they are trying to palm off something that's completely w***ered.

whats interesting is the damage the bar has done in the event of the accident , you can see its done its job of stiffening but clearly placed much more "crash" loads on the suspension towers as they have deformed inwards !! lol!
 
Crikey! That is definitely mangled! The left (drivers side) strut tower is crushed and it seems as if the other strut tower is actually sitting lower. Those braces going back to the firewall have also taken a beat in!
 
Got this from fab today:

Hi Terry,

The strut brace has gone through it's final checks and unfortunately it's not saleable I'm afraid, it is fact bent as you originally thought. I will get the credit done today for you.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused
Best Regards
