Might just write it off. Got any pics?

It's the worst feeling having your car damaged.

I really hope not. It's been a great car so car.

I'll chuck some up tonight, if I get a chance. I think it's bent the strut tower too.

xr bits arent cheap at all these days, it sounds like it will be written off.

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » December 15th, 2013, 4:56 pm

If it's bent the strut tower you won't want it back as it'll never be the same.

Sorry to hear mate

Cheers

Exactly what I was thinking.

I've seen el xr front bars go for 600+ dollars and then there's the front lip and indicator.

you could be looking at $1000 right there depending on your luck.

WHEN they write it off you may be able to buy it back and fix it yourself

as said above if the strut is bent it will never be the same. buy it back and sell it for parts.

Naah the other guy was being an idiot.
I was driving on a single lane dirt road and he came around the corner quick and locked up. Hit me.
I'm more pissed off at the fact that if it wasn't me he hit it could have been a mate on a motorbike and killed him.

Petrie · Post by **Petrie** » December 19th, 2013, 8:14 pm

updates.

-not a write off.
-going in January 6th for repairs, a week and a bit they'll have it.
-getting them to do the red moulds while they are at it and fix up the boot.

one happy camper!

still no pics of damage? Would be interesting to see why they didn't write it off.

obsezd · Post by **obsezd** » December 20th, 2013, 1:32 pm

itll be longer than 1 1/2 weeks.

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » December 20th, 2013, 5:51 pm

Mine was only a spray and it took 3 weeks.
Having to straighten out a bit of damage will take awhile.

Cheers

Petrie · Post by **Petrie** » December 20th, 2013, 6:31 pm

dont really do much justice but there you go fellas..

Incorrect. spoke to them today, i drop it in monday the 6th and get it back on thursday/friday. im not complaining.
have taped another indicator in for the moment, the clips and brackets are snapped in the front bar and guard, another mirror i had laying around too..

and before you ask, the door is concaved through from the front, door mould punched in, front bar has snapped all the side clips into the guard both sides and stress cracked through the headlight lenses.

Petrie · Post by **Petrie** » December 20th, 2013, 6:39 pm

bought those tickford floor mats off ebay too, my mate bought a set and they are brilliant quality.
for the price $150 seems a bit rich. but i would recommend them to anyone.

pictures of them in car are coming, when i can be bothered.

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » December 21st, 2013, 6:26 am

From those pics it looks like they only have to replace the guard and indicator. Fix the bar and as you said do the door and paint.

That looks minor as shit.

Cheers

Will have to replace the bar, as it's snapped all the clips into the guard.

Lower skirt section has been damaged through on the corner.

It's just going to be a pain getting the tickford bits. That's what costs all the money b

Post by **Sunboost** » December 23rd, 2013, 6:04 pm

I'm guessing the plates spurred the interest.

markr154 · Post by **markr154** » December 23rd, 2013, 6:48 pm

On P's, pervy plates, crash damage, frequent roundabout lurve, and a previous offence = no surprise really
