just crashed my clio about 10 mins ago



C

Clio1.6Rxe

i know i am very pleased with this and i will post up the finished work when ready! could be mid-week of next week

You still didnt answer the question of why or how you were going so fast as to cause that damage...

reverse dounuts?
Its hard to explain! do you know the way you'd reverse quickly, take it out of reverse and slip it into 1st and take off as the car is still rolling back! thats what i was doing! i was showing off a bit to be honest but it was pitch black!

So next week you'll be asking use how to repair your gearbox on the cheap?!?

Or worse driveshafts as well:dead:

having said that, logic would dictate that the backs of cars would be set to crumple alot more than the fronts.

I would have thought it would have been the other way round; the front would crumple more to absorb the impact as you're more likely to crash into something travelling forwards!

A friend of mine went into the back of someone and there was hardly a mark on their car whereas his bonnet was wrecked.

Anyway @ the OP - good luck getting the repairs sorted.

Exactly what I thought too. I know clio front ends are designed to crumple and most modern cars are at the front. But a friend's clio was rear ended and there was hardly any damage to his car.

no he wont claim, there is just a crack in his front bumper and he needs a new headlight, its still working and all its just cracked insite

He must have been sitting in a Volvo if you've creased your boot floor and he's only got a broken headlight!

looks like a good job for the price. I may be inclined to offload the car now is repaired as it may not last if you know what i mean
 
  ?
Is it just me or does the colour match look w**k and the general finish hideous? :S the bootlide/bumper seem to stand out from the rest of it by FAR?
