[Jaws]

Doesn't look that bad, i guess it just cos the air bag went off.

 

[Dash]

 

[willow]

the wing is fooked and its slightly damaged the side of the carbon bonnet. shame as she was mint pre crash

 

[JJT]

Shame, very nice car! not tempted to get it all fixed up or are insurance being gay about it?

are they 15 or 16inch wheel btw?

 

[willow]

basically i swapped it a couple of months ago with my mate, he then had a bike go into him. he didnt want the car back so i said i would buy it off his ins company so here she is lol. im going to fix her and get her back on the road couldnt see it die.

 

[willow]

16inch turinis

 

[Daniel]

Thats a cheap as chips repair!!

Good move mate!

 

[iimushroomzii]

How much did you buy it back for mate?

 

[willow]

shouldnt hopefully cost too much, being a cat c though it will never be worth anything though but then i dont intend to sell again

just need to find out whats damaged on the suspension, it grinds when you turn wheel and its towing in big time.

 

[willow]

How much did you buy it back for mate?

paid more than i wanted tbh, got her for £800

 

[iimushroomzii]

Not bad, Could be a tidy track car if you just sorted the suspension, even to repair the bodywork is only gonna cost a few hundred, so yeah £800 is pretty good price!

Seriously though?

 

[Russ_16v]

it says how much already in this thread, why dont people ever read the whole thread lol

 

[The Boosh!]

Seriously though?

I wonder where she brought it back from?

She may be going to the scrap yard to bring some spare parts.

 

[The_Pirate]

flol, that really gets on my tits!

Brought, Bought. An extra letter, why o why?

 

[The Boosh!]

flol, that really gets on my tits!

Brought, Bought. An extra effort only for pricks like me to correct you lol

Yeh i have grown out of correcting people now as 90% of the forum says brought pmsl

 

[willow]

i think they paid out 2250 for it, it was my mate who had it when it got crashed and ive got it off his ins company.

 

[lindleyp]

is buying a cat d repaired clio cup for less than 3k worth it?

does it affect getting insured on it?

what im trying to ask is is there anything wrong with buying cat d repaired cup for cheap.. yes i know its ben in an accident but what exactly does this mean if its been repaired?

 

[.Gem.]

^^ PMSL at double threading.

Willow...good stuff bird , clever thinking buying it back!

 

[willow]

had to buy her back, i couldnt let her go to a breakers. loved the car too much

 

[minismithy90]

looking at the phase 1 clio with cup alloys just made me even more close to buying one.

 

[Ribena]

shame about the damage, looks good though

 

[willow]

sorted the towing in of the wheel today, all that needed doing was the tracking! looks fine and drives spot on now! was out by 27! lol
booked in for mot on tuesday...
shall be fitting my replacement wing door and mirror the weekend

[Brett]

Gutted mate.

 

[mark smith87]

Its ideal candidate for turning into track car. sod the corsa!

 

[Gumby]

I've got an airbag computer if you want to send it off to be reset, so that you can keep yours in the car until you can swap them over. Give me a PM if interested
