Crashed my Clio... help.

[Bux]

Damn bud, sorry to hear that. I went out in my mates Land Rover tonight and we were sliding a fair bit... even laughed when I saw a 106 spin slowly when it pulled out of a car park (didn't hit anything)

 

[conneh]

They came and took it today around 11:30

This was about 2 hours before i rolled into a wall...

And this is a quick snap i took this morning so show the very little damage that actually happened...

lol

 

[conneh]

lol... that little bump was a write off!

Had the car since last May, was planning on changing it anyway...

So i now have £4k to spend on a new car... hmm.

 

[Revels]

£4k seems like a good price.

172 time or is that too much with insurance?

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

4K for a 1.2??? which insurance company was that?

They need to pass the crack pipe me thinks

 

[conneh]

£4k minus excess of £450 (parents will make it up.)

33k miles, 05 plate - pretty much in top condition

172 is a no no, still only 17!

Guy across the road from me has pretty much the same car, has smashed it up 3 times since passing his test in December, all 3 have been worse smashes than that and yet each time they have repaired it :s

 

[conneh]

Reanult stated on the phone it would be over £4k to reapair...

I do find it hard to believe, however they have paid out at a great price and i can't complain!

Next in line is a Mark 3 i think, have got a soft spot for the Dynmaique S! (Still will only be a small engine tho, 1.4!)

Wen't into a Renault garage to have at look at one - they had a phase 2 parked next to it... and there is no comparison. Mark 3 is the way forward.

4K?!?! For repairing that? What else is fucked other than the pic shows...

 

[Keano]

renault charge u £4000 for an arch liner iirc

 

[conneh]

Look at the first page of the thread... air bag came out LOL! wasn't even a big impact, as you can tell from the front end.

Top of the dash flipped up and hit the windscreen aswell.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Ohhhhhhhhhh! lol. Couldn't be arsed looking

 

[fUbAr]

my car cost £3500 to fix and it needed new bonnet, bumper, wings, light and rad... however the airbags didnt fire.

I can fully understand where £4000 came from using genuine parts.

I'd go for a mk2 Dci 80 if I was you mate. They're torquey and very economical. Remap will see 110 bhp aswell.

 

[YA55ER]

iv been in a worse smash and airbags didnt deploy (in a clio!)

 

[conneh]

write off

Anyway, this is what im looking at... After seeing a Phase 2 and a Mk3 together - i dont think i would go back to a Phase 2, not keeping my hopes up tho as they are still abit pricey!

Theres also loads on AutoTrader around the £5k mark...

Shame about that, 4k seems quite reasonable if the airbags deployed. The slam panel etc will be bent to f*ck as well.
