just had an accident :o(

[Limca]

ok the below pics show u the damage.

what exactly happened was i cliped a fcuking island. and all i heard was pop. there has been no puncher, or bodywork damage.. it just looks like the alloy has been damaged, but that can be refurbed, i hope. (i dont know about the steering or alignment, suspension yet.

my insurance has got in touch with renault city and they are gona pic up my car and sort it... i hope. i will get a courtesy car today too, i hope.

the problem i have is the AIRBAG, it blew when i hit my alloy.

i contacted ilford renault dealer and they said it will cost me at least £800, to fix my seat or they said i might need to replace the seat...

bloody 400 excess..

I was thinking that, I doubt theyd be able to rebuild it back up, thats in a right state.

 

[Lagerlout]

Lol @ refurb. Not even Fred could refurb that!! Fooked is not the word!!

 

[badinvincible]

***For sale***

One set of 17" Dare V2s finished in black, 3 wheels immaculate, one may requiring refurbing, only noticeable close up.

May PX for new drivers seat and new front suspension.

Just kidding mate

 

[jon_r]

Yer that wheel is a gonna!! Your probably best to pick up a seat from J3ned, be cheaper than Renault.

 

[MATT BLACK]

OK - i can sell you a seat airbag for £50 + vat, they bolt in. Get your seat re-stitched at an upholsterers ( £40 ish ) then you will need to replace your seat belt pretensioner ( holster ) you will find which ever one was plugged in at the time will have exploded and pulled downwards - £77.20 from renault. Then you will also need to replace your airbag computer which can vary from £80 - £230 depending on your oval plate number ( parts id code ) then once this has been done it will have to go on a "clip" renault diagnostic computer to have the airbag light knocked off. As for the alloy you will be able to source a single on somewere im sure

 

[dubster]

Owch dont think they can refurb that one thats one knackered alloy!

well, i was turning into a road, and i was approaching the island, which had a small gap, and i didnt make it. its the worst place to have an island, anyway alloys hit the corner of the island curb, and my air bag popped...

 

[Hector]

yeah, new alloy, that one looks raaather buckled.

[roadrunner_182]

good excuse to stick some bucket seats in there now, without side airbags.

 

[badinvincible]

Im sorry mate - I just thought I would try and cheer you up.

Did you declare your wheels to the insurance company?

 

[Ali]

woooooooopsss! Well a least u didnt hit any1 else...and ur ok.

 

[Gareth]

good time for bucket seats like said

 

[Darren S]

Thats what you get for having a car with a high NCAP safety rating!

It seems a little eager to have triggered the airbag at what must have been a slow(ish) speed?

Hope you get it sorted m8 - such a shame that happened to a decent looking alloy too...

[badinvincible]

I hope he is being sarcastic.

 

[Limca]

its sorted...........

 

[Chili Red]

Thats a hell of a clip! You must have been cornering pretty fast or it was a massive edge.

Think youll have to cough up the excess .. its annoying that the airbag went off, but it sounds horribly expensive to fix.

 

[Ali]

I hit a taxi square on and mine neva deployed!!!! issue me thinks.

 

[Leeshez]

Unlucky mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have a passenger + drivers side pre tensioner and the same seat covers if you need them

 

[Nefas]

Bad luck mate,

Hope u can resolve quickly .

[Turkish]

[NickM5c]

Ouch! Sorry to see your car like that pal, hope your wheel gets fixed up okay. As for the seat surely a pair of sport/bucket seats must be the way to go?

the scuffs on the right top corner.... they refurbed it as much as they could... watcha think

 

[Mike-bham]

not bad considering how bad they looked!

 

[Jamie _Swales]

There is still a flat spot on that wheel. wouldnt bother going through insurance just spend xs on fixing it. As its a fault claim they will screw you next year more than you will have to folk out.

 

[jonnyboy]

you can still see the bit missing out of the rim that wheels f**ked!

 

[Rick]

Did the airbag do anymore than put a massive bruise on the back of your arm? I think there should be an option to switch airbags off personally.
