Hey majapi,
hmm, a few of us have had a bit of bad luck over the past few months with our Cougar's. It seems people just really don't care on the roads. The Arrow was hit by a guy in a Hyundai which resulted in a fair bit of damage from what I read, but his car has since been fixed up good as new.
Mine was rear-ended (softly thank God) by a truck, the driver was talking on his mobile phone at a set of lights and didn't cover the brake pedal well enough so he rolled into the rear of my car.
You're probably insured, so they might be able to take care of everything for you, but my car was repaired at Eastern Creek Smash Repairs, if you want to give them a call on 96721927 they might be able to help you out, or L&M Smash 96248290 in Seven Hills.
So you mentioned a front skirt? Is yours an Eibach model as well? Hope it gets fixed up soon
Dan
