Latest happenings.... I get my car back 2moro hopefully (wed), havent been given a time yet but they said it will be after the quality control check and valeting etc.... I'm excited and nervous at the same time, I cant wait to feel the performance again after being used to driving the 1.6...

Doubt it if its a renaultsport model you have. Parts are more expensive. E.g spark plugs.

furniture? lol Well the woman took a full report so my insurance company can ask for it if they need it. No need now as the guy has accepted full liability. Oh and the scuttle shake in the megane is pretty shocking with the roof down and it takes a fair bit of winding up to overtake things...

I think sum1 on here did and it melted the back bumper.... lol

Just to give you guys a bit of an update..... My car is at allied car repairers at the moment, and its going to cost around 2k to fix.... Whole new front end, bumper, bonnet, grilles, wing, air filter, lights, radiator, light motors..... And the front chassis arms are bent but the guy said on...

god and I thought the damage on my cup was bad. At least ur ok m8

A 1.6 megane coupe/ cabriolet! ;) Not bad for a hire car and the roof is quite cool... Still feel a bit of a t@sser driving it though... But it is so relaxing to drive compared to my cup even though it doesnt accelerate anywhere near as fast!

Just picked up my hire car and got an upgrade with it.... Anyone wanna guess what I got? ;)

Even with my damaged cup i'd still show u a clean pair of heels! lol

Hes just denying liability... Which i find comical as he was the one that lost it, hit me head on and on my side of the road! He said that he was away on holiday as well just after the accident which is very helpful!

And its turning out that the claim is anything but hastle free... His insurance company has not accepted liability for the accident. So its just as well I have an accident report...

Yeah Ive got some, ill try and post them up. Its not as bad as I thought. A bit of a crumpled bonnet, pushed in bumper, cracked lights, damaged radiator, and door that I think is clashing off the wing.

Cadence braking is all well and good but when you have a two ton car heading straight for you that sort of goes out the window. Even with abs I would have hit him. There was literally no time to get the car slowed down enough to stop. Im allowed to "insist" for a police report if I want to...

What width of tyres have u got there? And are they std cup wheels in terms of offset? Very nice.... I wish mine was as low as that

The guy near me took a wet roundabout too fast I think and ripped one side of the car clean off... Its really expensive to repair if you damage the bodykit. I think his was a write off. Enjoy it though, im so jealous!

They also might be able to push a rod though the support and get to the dent. Good luck anyway...

At least it was your numberplate and not your radiator! And Im sure someone like chipsaway will take the dent out and respray that bit of the bonnet. Just need to be careful that there isnt a strengthening bar under the dent and that the colour match is perfect. Bad luck but at least you...

Its allied vehicles in balmore road. They are picking the car up tomorrow hopefully, as its sitting there looking a bit sorry for itself.

Congrats m8. Is that the one that was on pistonheads for just under 15k?? Nice car and it looked like it was in good condition. Enjoy it, just be careful with it as it can bite back as a guy near me found out with his blue v6 255. Fraser

Nah I thought the humiliation was bad enough.... And the fact that it was a 2week old car he was driving! The insurance have been on to me this morning and the repair garage is going to pick the car up so we will have to wait and see what they say. Still cant believe it actually happened..

Welcome. I hope you have better weather to be able to enjoy ur renaultsport!

Well thats a dustpan and brush job... Lol. As long as everyone walked away from it.

My cup would be flying if someone didnt hit me head on! lol

Yeah just past the dump. Last bad hairpin b4 you hit bishopbriggs. I was just about the knock the guy out..... He was chasing an older audi in front of him and overcooked it completely.

hilton rd, the back road to bishopbriggs... :(

It was hilton rd the one past the dump. The guy tried the sideways action in his brand new a6 but instead went straight on into the scenery and then straight into me!! Anyway Im without a car for work which Im p!ssed about but ppl are being helpful. I'll let u know what happens. Cheers...

^^ LOL. Ive normally found the lack of abs ok in the dry but the road had some mud and rubbish on it which didnt help matters. Even with abs I would of hit him as he was coming straight for me. I'll just need to wait to see what happens...

Yeah Im got some pics on my mobile which I will try and post up. Sounded like the driveshafts were damaged as the vibration and noise was horrendous.... I'll speak to my insurance company as soon as possible. Thanks for the help and support guys

Yeah I cant do much until the assessor gets a look and if the car is repairable. I'll just need to be patient but Im now without my own car due to no fault of my own.... Really p!sses me off....

Cheers Ad thats kinda put my mind at ease.... But I was thinking about replacements if I didnt want to keep the car.... But it would mean a bit more cash... I think Id get about £6-6.5k for my car so I was thinking about a 182 cup/trophy, used elise s2, used mk2 v6 and maybe a used 350Z. But I...
