Had a bump..

[chrispy.clio]

Oh dear, glad your ok, and i hope you get it fixed and all sorted soon

 

[EllD90]

My guestimate makes it beyond economical repair.

 

[MrTrick]

Its true some nice farmland and valleys, it aint all just 'tarn'

True. :approve:

@Greg.

LOL.

 

[The_Pirate]

I genuinley think we should get a sub section for Gally as these threads are pretty often ()

He does know what hes talking about after all

 

[yellowbelly]

Bad time....

 

[Jonny1*2]

Gutted.right off ? Clio 1•2 are going to be rare the rate they are getting scrapped

 

[VeinAST]

My heart would sink if my Monaco looked like that!!

 

[Curley]

Sorry to see this. It looks a lovely car too Hopefully it'll be back to its former glory without too much hassle.

 

[clairemae]

My heart would sink if my Monaco looked like that!!

I'll keep posted what happens whether its a write off or not, but if they've already said it can be fixed it might be ok.

 

[Gaz.]

Awww no way Claire. Hope it gets fixed for you, or you get a decent payout if not.

 

[jenic]

Gutted, looked mint on Sunday, hopefully it'll get fixed

 

[st3ve]

Shame to see this Claire, it's a nice example this one aswell, I reckon it will get repaired though.

My old one did, you should have seen it, was completely caved in at the side.

I wouldn't worry about it tbh, it's minor damage.

 

[Marky_]

Hopefully they'll fix it for you.

 

[Rocky_24]

sorry to hear, i hope it gets fixed to, i only looked at your meet pictures over the weekend and thought how nice it is.

 

[jim cook]

Feel sorry for ya.. Hope it gets sorted

 

[ipodsandguns]

The more i think about it the more i think it wont be a right off, The dint on the rear quarter is clearly the main worry but its not deep at all, about 100mm at the deepest points as a car grazed down the side.

It will be heading near he cut off point for what the insurer will say is a worth while repair, im being optimistic my self though.

 

[Jamie]

Even if it is, buy it back and repair it. Still be in pocket.

 

[Ralphizzle]

Ohw my gawd... sorry to read.
Feel gutted for you, i got lucky on the other hand.

Hope you get the okay for repair by the insurance inspector!
Looks like a outer skin replacement.

 

[Alan]

Ouch...bad times mate.

 

[Christopher]

Gutted.

That's borderline, I reckon.

 

[Kerryclio]

As said before Claire am glad your ok that's all that matters

I thought the damage was going to be worse though so fingers crossed it gets repaired

 

[Ali]

Thats finished.

 

[Christopher]

LOL.

Subtlety. Scottish-style.

 

[Vish]

Shame to see that, esp as it's Monaco!

Hope you were ok and get the decision you want!

 

[Leeshez]

Ouch unlucky .

 

[Munson]

...the car in front just stopped...

Yeah they do tend to do that from time to time.

Unlucky though. I imagine that's close to a write off.

 

[Gally]

Like I said 2800 is a rough guide price to what they will repair to. It's not far off that from my quick estimate.

To the person who said take the car back and some money. It doens't always work that way, a lot less insurers are giving cash in lieu settlements, a number of factors come into play like the amount they will get scrappage ect...

Don't assume if it's a cat d that you will get to buy it back that easy.

Direct line are a good company to deal with total loss wise and they use glass' guide always so you should get a decent settlement if the worst comes to the worst.

Good luck and give me a pm if you have any hassle.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Gutted for you.

On a bright note, if you can buy it back for peanuts it would be a great car for someone (maybe even you) whos not bothered about cosmetic appearance .... track car ftw

 

[Brett]

Gutted to see this. It looked mint on Sunday. Glad your ok though.

It will be borderline whether its fixed or not. I don't know either way.

Shame because it was such a clean car.

 

[Laura182]

Claire, gutted to hear this hun!!! Hope you get it sorted soon xxx

 

[Gaz]

they should get that up and going again easy hun, seen worse then that and its been done its only cosmetics see how it goes anyway if not take the money and get a V6

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Are you going through insurance? If so, try and take it to a small reputable garage who will charge less than the bigger garages.

Xenon headlight, £200? Bonnet - £200?, Grill £60?, Rear 1/4 £240?, Bumper £200? £900 in parts, I'm guessing £200 for paint, and then another £900 in labour. Are the insurers going to repair a £3.5K/£4k car with £2K's worth of damage? Possibly...

Hey all my opinion of course, it may or may not be written off.

were are you buying the bonnet from f**king hell, £50 on the bay for a brand new one, grill £48 from renault

it will be fine claire, im gutted for you.

 

[Gally]

Insurance use Reanult prices bif.

Renault parts are expensive.

It will also be an audatex estimate and it does get expensive.

 

[Triki]

Gutted for you !

I wont comment on the write off or not issue. As i admit i have not a clue.

 

[Munson]

I was just about to type something along those lines. Insurance companies don't send out the work experience bloke to pick up parts from the local scrappies FFS.

 

[robo_#1]

Thats gutting. It'd be a shame IF they do write that off really. Hope you get it fixed/sorted quickly with the settlement thats best for ya

LOL at everyone from Barnsley all crawling outa the woodwork

 

[richy22]

gally care to explain a bit more on this value...

So you paid over 5k for it?

Gap insurance wouldn't work unless you paid quite a lot over the odds, no offence it's a cracking car.

So do you mean if you paid s**t loads fo the car in theory insurance pay out is more?? :S

 

[leeds_182]

Gutted.

 

[Curtis!]

200 quid for paint!

Bonnet and the whole side of the car with blending will run into about 7/800+ quids worth.

 

[Ribena]

Claire that's disastrous! hope you're OK and that you get the car back in tip top condition.
