Titolo: che fine hai fatto?

Come si traduce "che fine hai fatto?"
immagino che "what end have you done?" sia un pò troppo letterale no? 
sono sicuro che in inglese si dirà qualcosa di fichissimo...

Depending on the context, it could be:
Whatever became of you?
Where have you been hiding?
Where have you been keeping yourself?
Whatever happened to you?
How did you end up?
How did things turn out for you?

 what have become of you?
Ma il soggetto è "what", mica "you".

Se io scrivessi una lettera in inglese ad un amico chiedendo "che fine
hai fatto?", direi "what happened to you?" (Dear...what happened to
you?  I haven't seen you in ages....)  Come ti ha detto Joe, ci sono
vari modi di tradurre.  Dovresti darci un po' di contesto.

thanks a tutti per le straveloci e utili risposte...

"where have you got to" è sbagliato? 

 How did you end up?
Would "wound up" be the same? I've been wondering for a while about 
that...

"Where did you wind up"? is also possible

No, it's acceptable.
In the US, you might even hear "Where have you gotten to?", although
it is generally considered incorrect.

That's what I meant, of course. Thanks!

 it is generally considered incorrect.
Why? Shouldn't it be even better in AmEng?

will completely revolutionize the way people get hit by cars.

That would depend upon what Am you talk to.
Not all Americans have gotten the message that
gotten has got a bad grammatical reputation.  :>)
