Accident pics

[Ascot182]

Just a few pics showing accident i had a few weeks ago, basically was stuck behind a car who was behind another car who was turning left into school car park, was busy so the car in front was just waiting behind so i indicate to go round them bith as nothing was coming and he decided to pull out and hit he on the passenger side, i then broke and as if hitting me once wasn't enough he ploughed into the back of me aswell. Damage been assessed by a company called Auto-Tech in Slough have assessed the damage and written it off as CAT D - aan apparent repair cost of £4500, However see for yourselves not a alot wrong with it. I have bought it back as had a mate to check it over and there is nothing else wrong with the car other than what you can see in the pics i am repairing it at the moment with miltek exhaust, dotz mugello alloys & v-maxx coil-overs + new bumper and new wing, all for less that £1500 will update again once repaired.

back panel and boot floor damaged?

 

[Ascot182]

no not at all i had all that checked before i made the decision to buy it back

 

[Ascot182]

the exhaustseemedto take the brunt of the hit from behind

it'll buff out mate

 

[Dave..]

mmmm written off 182s, dont get me started.

Fair play to you though if you can get it fixed at a decent price. As long as the boot floors intact, and the roof is crease free, should be straight forward.

 

[Pete.]

Are the engine mounts okay if the exhaust has been hit heavily, can be affected.

 

[Scrooge]

Not good matey who has been declared as at fault?

I think its s**t when you smack your car and then have to buy it back,even though you bought it in the first place.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

i was expectin it to be screwed with 4500 repair bill!

 

[Aluco]

I might not be reading this right but it sounds like a car was turning left but it was busy so instead of waiting like the car directly behind you decided to overtake them both and the car in front had the same idea after you had already started ?

Insurance is a scam.

Don't get why its written off? Who did insurance decide was at fault? I would say other person was, if what you say is true.

1. they had been sitting waiting for some time.
2. You indicated before going past them.

Did they indicate? If not then it surely is their fault imo.

I would have thought both persons were at fault in a situation such as this where a bit of patience would have prevailed

not having a go by the way OP

thats nothing! i can repair all that body work/ wheels, the chassis fecked?

 

[kevin.s]

it dont take a lot to rite off a 1*2 because of the price of parts. doesnt have to have a load of damage at all really. fair play on getting it back on the road though mate although looking at your back bumper i would have thought that the rear panel and poss boot floor would have creased as it dosnt take much force to do it to a clio so i would check that

 

[AlexG]

Nice mate you need to raise the exhaust up a bit though the mounts must be worn.

Need silvervisions too.

The guy that hit me as owned up and amitted full liability, he admitted that he didn't check his mirrors and just pulled out, no chassis damage detected at present and the boot floor is fine, had a mate who works for a repair centre to check it before i decided to buy it back
