Clio vs Defender *PICS*

[Lacey]

Erm.... held up pretty well.

:S

 

[Marky_]

How?

 

[my172]

Ouch, that doesn't look so great!! Hope you get it sorted!!

 

[Michael172]

I hate land stalkers

 

[Lacey]

Head on...

If anyone has an RS grille can they let me know? It's the only thing I haven't found.

Got new rad, new air con rad, slam panels and bonnet. He had a scratch, grrrr

 

[gaz1912]

looks bad mate. was such a nice example too, a bit of t-cut might get that out:dapprove:

 

[Gally]

oooft

 

[Reyes]

Looks mint!!!

 

[guysy]

Ouch, Was he overtaking or something? Country lane?

Hope you get it all sorted soon. Not going through insurance?

 

[Leeshez]

Bang and the plastic is gone.

 

[Gary-Lew]

Probably more damage than you think!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Ouch, Was he overtaking or something? Country lane?

LOL

Let's be real for a second, if that was anything near an overtaking speed collision there wouldn't be much left of the Clio.

20-30mph max imo.

 

[Christopher]

Ouch.

It wouldn't surprise me if they wrote that off

 

[clio_luke]

oh no. gutted
looks good too.

 

[Gally]

Ouch.

It wouldn't surprise me if they wrote that off

cmon chris i thought a man of your caliber would have experience
to know thats never a write off.
ps i am someone who has first hand experience.

ps you lucky it didnt hit lower down because those front panels are like a f**king
tank to pull and murder to replace.

 

[drunknmunky]

Ive got a bumper for sale

 

[Hazza]

Are you alright Lacey?

Glad that the xenons weren't smashed, as they're quite pricey!

 

[D4N13L]

NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!! my favourite car on here, hope ur ok. Please please get it fixed

 

[nth]

kissed

It soon adds up mate... at Renault prices.

Slam Panel
Bumper
Grille
Bonnet
Radiator
A/C Unit
A/C pipework

You'd be surprised. I had my bonnet replaced last year, and i was quoted near to £800 at some places, for the panel and paint alone. Got it down to £500 in the end though.

 

[N!CK R]

Looks like the front member is bent aswell.

Could be worse i s'pose. Hope you get it sorted mate.

 

[Marky_]

Gotta factor in the drop in residuals too.

 

[Ash87]

nasty, hope it all gets sorted easy for ya

 

[Lacey]

Cheers all. I'm ok, got whiplash, went to docs and they sorted me out a treat.

£200 all in FIXED... although does mean I have to have a white bonnet for a couple of months till I've saved enough to get it sprayed.

£70 for bonnet
£70 for two new rads
£25 for slam panel
£40 new grill (which I still need!)

 

[Mr Burns]

Ouch!! Hope you get it sorted soon fella as it is a looker!

...I think you may have given '2thumbs' an idea though

Certainly not Renault prices then! Are you not going through the insurance?

 

[Dee1983]

Plus my excess is a bit silly.

 

[Lacey]

Oops

I said something similar.

 

[aucky]

Gutted!
T-Cut?

Talk about kill the joke... 1st page buddy

 

[Hixle]

Glad you were ok dude, hope it all gets fixed for you soon!

 

[Dee1983]

I said something similar.

I'm gutted for ya thought..hope you and the car are fixed soon

 

[Tom@JMS]

I have a '98 defender for on the farm, they don't exactly have 'crumple zones'.

Steel girder for a front bumper and the back of the chassis at the back, with a 2.5tn rated towbar & frame, absolutely solid against any car/van/tree/small animals.

hope you get it sorted mate.

 

[aucky]

Sorry. didnt read EVERY post.
Real shame that though.. loved the green details

he's being a c**t and saying he needs a new front bumper, I am 100% sure that my almost stationary clio is not capable of causing any more than said scratch to a f**king defender!

Oh yes. It was actually on my shortlist of cars to get (along with the MX5 and a Mondeo...)

Did an insurance quote and it was £170.. lol. Would still have one tbh, but only wanted it to cause mischeif so it's probably for the best.

 

[AlexG]

Nooooo!! i like your car.

did the top of the radiator not hit the fuel rail guard?

Thats a joke! My dad t-boned a mini with the landy when it tried to nip across the main road in front of him, absolutely tore the back end off the car - complete write off. The landy needed a new 'bumper' better described as a girder and, front light housing and the wheel was pulled out of alignment very slightly. £50 to fix - parts from a scrappy. The bumper is stainless steel so they last forever and its ny-on impossible to tell a new one from and old one!!

 

[Tom@JMS]

and he hit the mini at about 50! so I would suggest he just doesn't like the look of your cars paint on his bumper.... lol
