    My green car was damaged on the right hand side but it was laterally shunted. The passenger side is al intact, but I can't assure you it is straight.

    Here is an image taken by the assessor.

      Thanks for quick response
      The only way to tell is by looking at chasis rail
      To see if their is any kinks / dent or impression,
      u will see one noticeable kink 150 mm or so behind engine mount,
      but can realy show up anywhere. the side opposite the impact Usualy remains
      Ok because the impact rail might move 20mm then the front rail scrunches just after where the hole is then it scrunches even less just before opposite chasis rail because most of the impact has now been absorbed. finaly the rail opposite the crash might move 5mm or less which is only enough to bend somewhere along the wheel arch and front side of the strut tower, not kinking the rail.
      Sorry if that's a bit long winded it's just my exciting discovery from working on the GTI Ha ha lol
