Well it made it through its 3rd winter, a soden brands hatch monday and a big spin but even abs couldnt save it from the dappy German lorry driver that hit me while i was stopped waiting for traffic to move.

[172.com]

Bugger, hope you get it sorted OK.

 

[AlexS]

Hope you get it sorted fella, at least your ok, it looks repairable.

 

[fUbAr]

Iain

hope it all gets sorted quickly mate

 

[John D]

Nooooo!!!

Proper shitter that mate. I was admiring that at Brands too.

 

[Rob_02cup]

Keep your chin up m8, it sounds like you'll get it repaired (that will never get written off for that damage) by the other drivers insurance and should get a courtesy car till its fixed. The damage wont show up on the hpi either when its fixed.

Could have been a lot worse.

 

[Cookie]

Ouch

Hope you get it sorted out with no problems

 

[TomTom]

Unlucky Iain, bad news. How fast was the truck going?

 

[Gumby]

Poor cup (and driver!)

 

[JR]

sorry to see this, always liked your cup fella

 

[MarkCup]

Ouch.

Bugger.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[Peperami]

Good lordy!

Steve said he was taking you to the pub, but didnt say why

 

[matt__f]

Christ! At least you wasn't hurt

 

[Shindig]

what a bad day for you! least ur all right.

 

[Andy.]

Looked mint too. Hope you get it sorted

 

[Ang]

more hugs x

 

[Christopher]

oops

sorry to hear that mate

just to give you an idea, i had to have my rear quarter panel replaced a few years ago on my 172...£1100 inc VAT & labour iirc. i'm not sure how much door skins are though.

 

[Neil G]

Gutted

Hope you manage to get the car sorted

 

[Munson]

Harsh. Brand new door from the scrapper and a few hundred squids on the rear quarter. Good as new. Hell, the door fit might even end up better than the original anyway.

 

[SBV116]

Bugger! Hope you get it sorted!

 

[jon_r]

Don't worry Iain, it'll get fixed. Chin up.

 

[Tom]

At least the TBR sticker is intact.

 

[Ad]

hope its sorted quickly fella.

 

[DebV6]

Oh no Glad you wasn't hurt though.

 

[Bluebeard]

Who brought harry hill along??!

Seriously though, if it were me, forget the whole door skin idea, get a new door. door skins WILL rust from the inside sooner or later, its not worth it.

 

[Lee]

That sucks mate. At least you weren't hurt and the car will get fixed.

I'll catch up with you for some Crackdown if you are about over the weekend.

 

[Steviant]

At least the TBR sticker is intact.

Erm, it isn't he ripped it off yesterday! lol

Car has now been picked up to be assessed by repairer.
It should be an easy repair. New front wing, door, rear 1/4 panel

Luckily it's all cosmetic, the car itself has not been bent. Just panel damage, and a small chunk out of the front rim/tyre.

Iain's currently on the M1 heading for Brum at 5mph. lol

Hope it will be done in a week's time and good as new.

 

[Lee]

He mentioned he was up this way. Send him round for a coffee, I'm off this afternoon. lol

 

[Steviant]

He mentioned he was up this way. Send him round for a coffee, I'm off this afternoon. lol

He hasn't made it past Luton yet. Stuck in traffic, in a KA!!!1 Poor boy.
