A sad about the little argument with the tires(I mean roo) I did a lot more damage when I hit them tires but for me it was rear and side and a big repair bill including a full respray. Hope you can fix it relatively cheep or go for option 2 as Andrew suggested

*where was the HANS device huh? Could've avoided that there whiplash.
But on a serious note: Poo! Welcome to the expensive world of motorsport! I'm just sorry the welcoming party couldn't have been a little more gentle. Hey, it's a relatively minor prang but unfortunately if you're going to replace panels then it doesn't matter if it's minor or major: you still pay the same amount for a fresh panel + paint

Seriously though it was a little skidpan surrounded by truck tyres(no soft grass like rac) And i went to wide on a corner and couldn't regain control, when i hit the tyre it was full of water and splashed everywhere and people thought my washer bottle exploded

welcome to the world of understeer... you were carrying too much speed and you tried to turn too sharp. Tyres lost the ability to grip the road, so momentum just pushes you in the direction you were heading.
Subaru's are renowned for it. This is why we spend so much money doing sway bars, strut bars, alignments, camber, castor, toe adjustments and braces... |

Cat book a 'performance driving day' @ rac. Best thing I did. You get one on one tuition as much as you like. I learnt a bucket load as I've only had ever had 4wds. That combined with what your doing will teach you so much about weight transfer, under steer over steer intentional loss of traction and accidental correction. If it saves you hitting something once it was worth it.
