So do you think it'll polish out?

[FatRS]

Got punted up the backside whilst waiting at red traffic lights this afternoon. To say I'm gutted is an understatement!
Financially couldn't happen at a worse time.

 

[FatRS]

I know there's been a thread recently about this, but what's the situation of me buying the car back to sell on for parts? @gally

 

[JP83]

Christ! Hopefully you and the occupants are ok though fella?

Shitter.. please tell me the little one wasn't in the car..? (Although they're tough cars the Clio's)!

 

[FatRS]

Yeah. Thanks buddy. Fortunately just me. My 2 year old was at nursery. She'll be gutted. She absolutely loved that car. Daddy's baby black cat she called it.

 

[Daz...]

That looks like a hefty whack for sitting at traffic lights, whoever hit you needs their eyes checking!

Glad your daughter wasn't in there when it happened, I'd hate for my kids to be in an accident.

 

[imprezaworks]

Gutted mate

You've had this a while iirc?

 

[leedsboy]

Look on the bright side, free Lexus lights.

Joking aside glad you're ok and the little one wasn't in the car!

 

[FatRS]

Gutted mate 😧

You've had this a while iirc?

Yeah. Almost 6 years. Longest owning a car.

 

[imprezaworks]

Thought so mate, gutted.

As abov glad everyone was ok.

 

[Gus]

Definitely try and buy it back. What is the boot floor like. It's looks like it could be an easy repair. Bumper lights and a tailgate.

 

[FatRS]

The boot floor is massively raised up on the left. Ripple in the NSR wing.

 

[imprezaworks]

 

[Dom_capper]

I'd be worried about fixing that. Not sure how well it would take another hit in future, especially with the little one in the back.

Definitely break it though if it's modded

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I wouldn't want it tbh.

 

[cs_dave]

breaker!!!!!

price on turinis

 

[FatRS]

That's the thing. The cost of done modded parts, especially the wheels will be worth buying back but I don't have know how to strip the car or get it back from the insurance assessors. Waiting game now until likely Tuesday before I can do anything.

 

[cs_dave]

what modded parts does it have mate. shame your not closer i would of stripped it for you if you needed. i fancy turinis on the mini ;-)

can u buy it bk?

 

[FatRS]

can u buy it bk?

According to assessors yes as it was not my fault. So I will be doing that. I'll then try to break what I can, (no mechanical knowledge) and try to get help from a neighbour.
Unsure what car I'll get next. I may use the mods on that...

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Why would it be any different buying it back if it were your fault? (Genuine question..)

Never had to deal with this before but he said if it was my fault, the insurers wouldn't normally allow me to buy it back. They would if not my fault.

 

[FatRS]

selling turinis ;-)

I won't straight away until I know what I get next. Continue sport 3's only done lass than 1000 miles too. If I get another 1*2 they'll be going straight on.

1st on if you sell them then mate

 

[Jekyll]

Can I have first dibs on the tunepoint?

 

[Daz...]

Vultures!




I'd be interested in the engine mounts...

 

[FatRS]

So the car is on my driveway now but waiting for payout to even start. If selling the car as is without the spacers and turinis for a track car, what is s fair sum to ask and what is the likely monetary value if I break it?

Given that a working, unsmashed 172 can be had for a grand. Not a lot.

He owns his own bodyshop and will pull out and fit a tailgate. He's buying cos of the mods already on it and engine and gearbox.
