Crashed

[Birdie]

Hi,
today i had just fitted my speakers in my car and i went with my mate to take some pictures of the cars, and afetr leaving my house about a minute down the road i heard wining so i was trying to listen where it was coming from. And then i never realised that my mate had stopped in traffic infront of me and it was too late to have stopped and i went into the back of him at about 20. My car is quite badly damaged a few things bent on the underside, and his boot floor is creased is this a definate write off, is there nothing that can be done to make it not be a write off? also what category would it be and how much would it cost to be repaired??

Harsh to hear, I have seen people re-jig some monsters but I don't think it will be worth the expense.

[Birdie]

cheers, oh how i wish i could turn back time, how badly does a claim affect insurance

 

[fraserd007]

My mate went into the back of me at crawling speed because i was stopped at the lights looking with my mate at some fit birds, He too was adrmiring and didnt see me stopping lol.

Luckily no damage. Or he would have been for it.

If i was you take the opportunity to fix it by yourself. Insurance will probably hike up if you claim. Or you could get sport bumpers now?

ive got a bumper and bonnet in my garage, i can get a wing for around £40 and a slam pannel for about £40 so mine should be alright, its just his im worried about, but the is a bit of damage to his rear quarter, which was done before the crash so my dad says get it checked out as all the damage to the boots may not have been caused by me

 

[Darren S]

Harsh. Shame you both came a cropper out of this.

Hope the damage is fixable.

D.

Very badly lol. What car does your mate have?

It might be cheaper in the long run to buy him a new one.

 

[Chesh]

^^^^^
ditto

Whatever you do dont go through the insurance, the money you spend on fixing everything will not be as much as your insurance will charge you, not just for the following renewal but for the few years remember!

 

[DebV6]

Oops! Hope it gets sorted.

 

[Birdie]

Right i have now got it all fixed, ill post pics of the car from crashed to now when i get in later.
