If they write it off I fancy a nice black 172!

Sounds like the gear box mount to me! The top 1 below the battery! Prob just needs tightened!

Yep, but I told them it's only going to either 1 of the 2 of them! As u are allowed to specify who fixes it!

Needs new quarter panel, inner guard, door and side skirt (depending on whether it can be removed easily! That's about £850 worth of parts! Plus fitting and painting! A 1/4 pannel will take around 5 hrs to remove and refit! It's alot o time on the quote!

That's the quote I got from bodytech in Northern Ireland! My bro's 2 busy to fix it till 3weeks time and I wouldn't let it go anywhere else but his place or Bodytech!

Saturday's detailing down the drain!

I haven't told mine yet, do I need to even though her insurance are sorting it?

She reversed into the side of it! Took out the door and 1/4 panel! Inner guard's fucked 2!

Anyone know what way a third party claim works? Repairs are going to be 2800, and car is worth around 3800-4000. Will they write it off or what?

Finally got a few spare mins to give the car a quick wash after the detailling on Sat! Took a few pics when I had finished! Enjoy! Apologies for crap pics, light was fading!

Welcome to CS! My 1st Car was a MK1 Ph3 think it was a Biarittz of however ya wanna spell it! Take a look at the Local meetings section, we're trying to get something sorted before Christmas!

If it's the facelift 172 then yes! I dunno bout the older 172's!

Me too, otherwise I mite get a slap! Lol! He's used the booth since and it's all been fine! Just left the fans on for a good half hour after using!

I'll post a few pics up later on when I get a chance to wash the car again :( . Came up really well! We headed up the coast on sunday! Doesn't seem to be much life in Bangor lately!

The bodyshop should have colour cards to go with their paint scheme. It's just a matter of choosing which colour best matches. Remember even from the factory the plastic parts aren't an exact colour match. This is due to the bumbers etc being painted separate from the rest of the car, and prob...

And that is if you can get them new! Sachs didn't make a huge lot of these dampers and they're very hard to get ur hands on!

At 20k I don't think everyone could afford 1! I use my bro's in his bodyshop! I'm gonna get the Misses's mum (pastry chef) to start baking cakes in it! :approve:

Yep and the lights in it are great for showing up swirl marks! So much easier to polish them out in the booth!

Rich ur a Star! Car came up better than new! Put 2 coats of Z2 on on Sat and baked in the spray booth for 10mins! Then a coat of Zymol Titanium and back in to bake! As the lack of sunlight put an end to the leave in sun to cure! 60 degree bake FTW
