Just Crashed My 172

[Tucks]

Unlucky Dan
Chin up though...your rite,it could have been much worse. Have a go at tapping that sill down yourself for the time being.

 

[Dan@SJM]

ive got the door opening now, but i'll await my dad to come home as im too pissed off atm to do much more without smacking the hell out of it.

 

[benjam_in]

do all 172s have RT bump strips?

 

[Dan@SJM]

no, i stuck that on it.

unlucky mate, roll on summer

 

[Graham Gooch]

unlucky

can i be the first to say though......... junk those alloys, they look w**k and make your car look like its worth 1p IMO

 

[Dan@SJM]

They're trhe ones off my clio valver, my 172 alloys have illegal tyres so i have to use these as i dont have any money to replace the tyres.

The 3rd picture down, an AXGT crashed through the wall at the end, i managed to avoid that and get it in the other direction!

The rocks on the entrance to that drive wouldnt have been much fun either, was a no-win situation mate.

Are you fixin it yourself or claiming on isurance?

 

[Dan@SJM]

tpft so cant claim. Its been quoted 250 from a sprayer i know.

 

[Ad]

not too bad, thats for the door sill and front corner?? Can they straighten the door or is it needin new door?? Take it they will just hammer the sill straight and repair?

 

[stevie 269]

Oh Dear

 

[Ad]

my excess is £700 if that make you feel better mate, look like you will have it fixed well within that.

 

[Dan@SJM]

No damage to the front!!!

The door will be repaired. and the sill will be cut out and straightened if not renewed.

apologies thought it was scratched on the front from the bush and would need painting

 

[Giles]

Feel sorry for you
Hope your Clio get fix.

 

[Dan@SJM]

nah the damage on the front was already there, it got caused when it rolled into a gate, annoying when i had left it parked up for about 4hrs then, bang there it goes!

 

[Loopz]

when i read the topic title, i thought by chrashed you mean you totaly demolished your clio...


all you got was a few scratches, far from beyond repair...but i know it's annoying as hell, makes you feel bad when you look at the car and even worse when the repair bill comes by...even the smallest bump can cost a bundle to repair...

 

[Rob669]

Hope you get it sorted and it ain't expensive. Lucky in one way to miss that pole.

[Dan@SJM]

[stevie 269]
