Not so long ago I was involved in a "minor" accident. Was driving 10-15 km/h in the morning while daydreaming, and out of the blue the SUV in front of me stops because of the heavy traffic. I reacted by breaking, but was too slow.

The SUV i collided with was untouched, but couldn't say the same about my C3. The bonnet got bent backwards, and the grill got shattered. These are easily accessible parts, so that's basically a quick fix, but there is one part that gives me a bit anxiety, and that's the plastic the grill is mounted on. I really hope it isn't part of the structure, or I'm in big trouble.

I attached a picture of the part from a manual where I circled out the part I was talking about. I also attached my C3
