I finally got her back on christmas eve, but since I was working all over christmas I didn't get chance to take any pics :cry:
But I've been busy all day and she's had a full on valet, wash, polish, wax inside & out so she's back to total mintness :D
Some before & after pics of the damage &...
Since most of you all know about how some chav fucktard in a flying corsa tried to kill me & the naples on bonfire night :mad:
It's all finally been sorted & fixed :D

Just a heads up as it's the 1st time I've seen it.
Found this site on another forum I use http://www.r2rc.co.uk/home/content/view/27/97/
It's about some new european legislation coming in 2010 that means you can only have work carried out on your car by a manufacturers dealership :S
Sound...
^^^thats pretty much how my claim went ;) I got my car back to mintness and made £600 by getting it fixed cheap - not with used parts, just some skilled panel beating :approve:
Main reason I'm claiming compo is because of the time I've had to take off work and the money it's cost me in lost...
Gutted for you mate :(
get yourself to a doctor mate, I guarantee your back & neck are gonna hurt like hell in the morning, you'll want some diclofenac ;) it's what I've been taking since my crash, works so much better than anything you can get over the counter
getting s**t faced works quite...
No new pics yet, not had chance to take any but I can safely say it's in exactly the same condition as it is in my other thread

I'm really happy I've got my car back today, after a 2nd respray :rolleyes: :cry:
I've only had 3 hours sleep & now I'm on a 12 hour night shift :cry: so I'm sort of scraping the bottom of the barrel for enthusiasm atm ::dapprove:
My guy has done a fantastic job and there's no way you...
could narrow the groups down a bit as well to these clio's
Mk1's
V6 - so everyone else gets a look in :rasp:
Mk2 RS & Non-RS
Mk3 RS & Non-RS
Track weapon
Those 7 categories should cover all bases I reckon :S
I'd submit mine in the valver category then:cool:, I will get pics up when I get home.
I like this idea, can we make it a proper competition where we all vote? :approve:
I'd smash her tbqfh :approve:, get her to pose in/near my car please, not on it as the paint is a bit too fresh atm :rasp:
Prefer the blue vee's (sorry riz:rasp:)
Addz, was you on trent bridge a few weeks ago with a silver vee? If it was you, the other 1 was my housemate, I bet the noise...
franx - dunno if this is any use to ya but also the megane F7R head can't work with a F7P or williams inlet manifold as the shape of the inlet ports are completely different
Latest Update

Absolutely gutted for you mate :dapprove: especially after doin 2 voluntary tours in afghanistan to pay for it :(
You'll get another one through insurance, and you'll have nearly a year to keep fighting to keep the blame on her :nono: and off yourself.

I've had the bores measured today and the good news is that the block hasn't had a re-bore, it is a bit worn but not excessively, so I'll be ordering some 83mm pistons & getting the block re-bored to fit them :D
I've got a 2.0 litre megane block and a 5l bottle of mobil1 in the boot of my pug :D
As for my clio's boot......it's got half the interior in thats had to be removed to beat out the bent panels :(
I did notice how coked up the head was & was quite surprised but not too bothered as the whole thing is being rebuilt with new parts & obviously a proper map
I'll be getting a rebore as well, I just need to measure the cylinders to see which pistons I need to get as I don't want to go too far...

Yes it will have boost :evil:
Here's some pics I took of the repair work this morning
The only downside is it's gonna cost an extra £100 as the roof had to be re-done :( the repair to the top of the B-pillar caused the roof to move a bit & cracked the paint
Just had a phone call from the lovely people at Helphire :D
