BoilingPoint · 10-04-2008, 00:16

Hopefully in the cold light of day it'll not look quite so bad.

At least no one was hurt fella.

Hope you get it sorted ASAP.

parsko · 10-04-2008, 00:19

Judging by the position of the speedo needle you were going a fair old speed when the picture was taken.! Least you are ok though eh!

L-Y-K · 10-04-2008, 09:34

Basil · 10-04-2008, 09:39

That is really a tough break mate - just glad that you are ok - as we say out here - "better in the metal than in you...."

Hope you get it sorted soon.

cheezemonkhai · 10-04-2008, 10:22

Is the damage just to that area or does is carry on down the car?

If it is just that area it's probably only a new wing, front bumper, a wheel/tyre and then maybe a few bits that hold the wheel on.

Hopefully nothing too serious though

i hope so. the tyres fine! no punctures!

the wheels needed a recon anyway. hehe.

but when i drove it after the accident i think my axle was bent or something as the steering wheel clonked to the right every time the drive shaft or what ever rotated. *fingers crossed*

it was getting lowered this month too

yeah, i didnt suffer any pains or anything the ambulance turned up pretty fast tho! no body stoped to see if i was ok. just drove on!

hethmar · 10-04-2008, 10:32

So sorry to hear of the accident, glad you werent hurt though. Hope it gets sorted quickly for you.

Johnny50 · 10-04-2008, 10:43

Hopefully should all be fixed fairly cheap.

Would it be worth just buying the parts yourself and not claiming ?

Not exactly expensive parts tbh.

I just bought a new wing for my Fabia for £42 delivered.

and get the insurance to do the rest? if a wings only 42 quid... and whats a bonnet. new fog lamp, new grills and new bumper... hmmm then theres the mechanical bits tho

possble idea tho.

Johnny50 · 10-04-2008, 10:56

If you were buying all at one time it would save you on postage i suppose,

but parts alone..

Bonnet £79
Bumper £47
Foglamp £22

Then obviously paint/fitting.

Maybe not worth your while unless you're a dab hand at fitting yourself.

thats not an RS bumper though is it

i got my old bumper in the garage! haha

Johnny50 · 10-04-2008, 11:19

Nope, only thing i find hard to source is an RS bumper unfortunately.

Hopefully your PM is usefull.

bengie · 10-04-2008, 11:41

might well be worth not claiming mate, as you'll have to pay the excess anyway, theh you'll lose your no claims and also have a claim against you so will cost a fortune in the long run.

just price it up mate and see what happens.
