The rear wing damage is going to cost, but is repairable.

what ashame.
The bottoms of the pillars look bad...mainly the rear door B pillar and the front door quarter light pillar looks effected.
Hope it isn't too difficult to fix.

The front door glass (both pieces) has been replaced and fixed, front door is unmarked and the A pillar glass comes complete with the pillar which is removed by 2 nuts. Window winds up and down nicely.
For now I have covered the rear window with clear plastic, I think it's better to replace the complete door and I have a door in mint condition but unfortunately not the right colour so needs to be sprayed. The damage to the quarterpanel is not all that great and a skilled body shop will have that looking like new.
Anyone know of a reasonably priced body shop in the south east that can do the job?
Will, where did you find that photo?

Was the front door glass bonded in, or came out ok with the window guide?

It was bonded in and was a pig to get out!
Will have a look at that link.
Come on share, I was told that Steve Berry advertised the car on another forum somewhere but can't seem to find it. Any more info on the car would be useful.

That picture was grabbed from Farcebook.
I've never used AndysAuto Barn, but he comes highly recommended from an friend called Nick, among others.

I fitted a new rear door onto the car last week, shame it's a different colour! Needs a wash but the paintwork really is immaculate as is the interior. Taking it up to Wales this week as I'm out of space down here will also attempt to get the G reg 2.0i started. Are S 1.5 cars sinkers? As this one will slowly sink when engine is off. Suspension does feel overly soft too.
