Unlucky Nikos. Anything I can do give me a shout. I might have some plastex in the shed, enough to fix a small crack. As for other bits, there's bound to be something in a wreckers yard somewhere about. As for brake levers, fronts are cheap and avail anywhere in a variety of colours, rears are more expensive and may be a wreckers yard job.
Good luck with it all.

cheers for being such legends guys... I'm really pissed off, but taking it all with a smile. I could see the resale value dropping as i watched it slide away.
I'll have to have a good look at it tomorrow after work, had to quickly get it up and ride it home so i could get to work today and it was dark by the time i got home so i haven't had another look over it yet.
Won't really be in a hurry to fix the scratches cos i'm short of cash, but i'll get the cracks and brake fixed asap so i can ride it again.
Kind of makes me wish i still had insurance ... i did up until about feb of this year

That's the bugger isn't it. It's not till we don't have it, that we need it.
Insurance that is..

Bugger hey... oh well, a scratched bike is a worthless bike. Throw it in the gutter and get another one.
