Monaco RS Clio 172
hi
well today is officially one of the most heartbreaking days of my life.
last night, my mother had use of my car, and while it was p1ssing down, she managed to go thru a hedge down some lanes, and into a field.
car has been recovered by myself. had to cut thru the wire fence on the field, use her car to pull it out because it was stuck in the mud.
I drove it home, and, suffice to say it looks like it's worth about 4 quid now.
the damage is not "appearing" to be as bad as it first seemed.
I hate the threads where people say "car crashed how much to fix it" when there is no pictures and I am the same here. I only just got it home so pics tomorrow or whenever I can get hold of a camera.
basically I am curious for all your knowledge on how much each of these items would cost.
it definately needs (from what I have seen today/tonight - proper inspection first thing in the day light) :-
front bumper - believe the grills are intact, lost the number plate too, fogs are definately dead and arch liners look to be dead too
left/right front fogs w/ surrounds
arch liners
new bonnett or the dent I can see pulled out.. will need pics to show this but basically it looks like a baseball bat hit it "quite" hard
somehow yet another "baseball bat" looking dent right on the renault sport badge on the BOOT
...
2nd hand prices would be cool just a rough guide also it is monaco blue as the title says so is this pricey to match and get parts sprayed?
no idea how bad the sides of the car are with regards to dents and or scratches. bound tobe loads. it is CAKED in mud at the mo so it was very hard to tell.
the horn does not sound happy either.
when I drove it, I noticed -NOTHING- wrong with it. drove straight and true, no pulling no knocking, did a good 25 miles at slow to moderate speeds and it seems absolutely fine... very strange. to have jumped, landed, and not killed wish bones / suspension / joints??
again needs a proper look.
anyone know of a decent body shop near edenbridge in kent aswell?
sorry for the essay but once again folks a word of warning
do not let your mother borrow your vehicle
and yes, she was only third party on it, because she is not the main driver I am and no I could not have said I was driving as I was nowhere near at the time
