my clio rs dream is over.... its dead

[DCI_DUDE]

feel sorry for ya mate !! Hope it all gets sorted out for you !!

 

[Ash87]

ah gutted for you mate, hope it gets sorted without much hassle.

 

[Renault Davey Boy]

sorry to hear about your car dude. say to the insurance that your black alloy split in half so you had to throw it, so you had to put the silver one on to keep the car level. that way you will have all your mint black wheels plus a mint black spare wheel to.

 

[MarkCup]

Only just seen this.

Stupid f***ing bint. Driving without due care and attention or careless driving at a minimum in my opinion.

Someone coming the other way and she need to react? There was a traffic island between her and the oncoming traffic to protect her.

She was fiddling with the stereo, glancing blow off the Micra then BANG into your pride and joy. So glad the insurers are seeming to do the right thing.

I would say that you're lucky that the Micra was in the way though, as without it, the claim could go 50/50 as you'd parked illegally which she could have argued was a contributing factor.

 

[Tigger]

That is heart-breaking! :dapprove:

Ive always thought Trev looked more like yoda TBH.

PH-Porky,

May the force be with you. Now you know why I always say.

 

[Limca]

thanks for the comments guys. the ph1 will be picked up tomorrow at some point.

 

[jack_davey]

f*ck sake! this happening way too often to members on here! Such a nice car, really hope it gets fixed, if they try and write it off, DON'T STAND FOR IT!

If the other insurance company is paying/sorting it they will restore it to exactly how you had it.

ie, with all your mods etc....

items should be replaced on a like for like basis, so even if they had damaged your wheels etc they should go to exactly how you had it or the closest alternative.

The company repairing it may request what mods you had on it so they can track down new parts for it

 

[Limca]

yes thats what the girls insurance said (directline) they said if they cannot track the mods i had on the car, they will give me money to go and buy them myself

 

[MazzaR26]

Gutted for you mate, I know how much effort you put into that car.

Are you around today? ill be in the enfield area so I can pass by yours and take a look.

 

[Ian_182]

yes thats what the girls insurance said (directline) they said if they cannot track the mods i had on the car, they will give me money to go and buy them myself

Tell them your throttle bodies are damaged as a result of the crash

 

[Mawv]

Unlucky. Hope you get everything sorted.

 

[Brad182]

Hey Man just seen this (I saw the seats for sale)

Gutted for you mate, was looking forward to seeing all the mods too...

 

[polarbert]

Failure to produce photographic evidence within 15 minutes results in a permanent ban!

(Straighten your wheels next time you park and you'll not suffer a bent axel/cv)

What are you on about?

 

[bennyball]

This sucks, looks like you could be out of a clio for a while. Hope it all gets sorted asap, looks like a mint car!

 

[W17GLE]

Mate if its a write off buy it back. I bought mine back for £560 and then sold everything off it and made a nice tidy proffit as well as the payout. I ended up being able to buy another ph1 and now i have spare engine, gearbox and all running gear.

 

[Timmay]

terrible news fella

sucha nice car

 

[Limca]

the greenflag person is trying to take the car away. it has to be lifted. He reckons its a write off. I will be pursuing to buy it back if it is a write off.

Unfortunately the bodyshop said that if it is repairable, it wont be until some time in mid Jan 09. That sucks

I am getting a courtesy car later today.

 

[Christopher]

Bad times Jay

it would be worth it in the end... getting another ph1 just wouldnt feel the same

 

[Limca]

i was looking at a mk4 vw gti anni next maybe... will see i guess

 

[nth]

they still going for 7ish? seem to hold value imo ... love the bbs wheels they come with

 

[ChrisR]

i'm with flux/highway, all mods are declared, but i have a feeling they would only replace standard parts.. ill ring them in a bit

Dunno if it' sbeen said, but do not get your insurance compny to do the repairs!

It's her fault, she's admitted it, so her company do everything. Just tell your's it's happened and tell them to leave off until you need them (if you need them).

And as her ins co will be doing it all you shoul dbe able ot push for everything replaced like for like. When I had my old 19 done in by a stupid woman I got money for things like cds that were scratched because of the accident and even the stereo which the guys at the salvage yeard knicked!

 

[dmn1989]

thts a shame to see mate.
hope it gets sorted out soon.

for some reason i hav this picture that the chick was uber hot? please clarify

 

[Christopher]

i was looking at a mk4 vw gti anni next maybe... will see i guess

No!

No.

 

[Cupster]

She hit the Micra too? Sorry to hear this man!

 

[Leeshez]

Bugger that is nasty . I hope it is all sorted out soon.

Yeah, her directline insurance are taking care of everything. They said they will replace parts/mods like for like. If they cannot source the FK konig coilovers for example, they will offer to pay me money to source another set myself

My Flux/Highway insurance contacted directline today. And directline confirmed that they will take care of everything.

 

[Limca]

She hit the Micra too? Sorry to hear this man!

yeah, my sisters micra... her insurance have collected both our cars to go for repair. we both got courtesy cars too.

she got a vauhall, and i got a chevvy

 

[Limca]

the dude from greenflag that transported the car back to the bodyshop place said that the steering is complety fucked and that he reckons the inspectors will say its a write off.

Shame really, the ph1 only did 42k miles.....

 

[Limca]

No!

No.

why not :dapprove:

 

[Englebert]

Bad news it that it will effect your policy for the next 5 years. Such a PITA.

Unlucky...

[Sarah]

No.

+1 dont do it Jay.....u will be bored

 

[D1CKY]

+1 dont do it Jay.....u will be bored

Chris/Sarah,

I thought the Gti Anni would be a far superior car compared to Rs :S
Remap potential etc etc

Shame a lot of them i have seen the Bbs wheels have been fucked

 

[Mark One]

^ but is a golf going to be fun to drive? ^ Im not so sure.

Was she the type? "yah yah yah, daddy bought me this adorable mini yah and it's just soooo amazing....watch this"

 

[Nafoff]

chap, if you are seriously thinking about a mark 4 golf speak to Ads_172 on here, he sold his phase 1 for a golf, then sold that for a cup again...

he will be able to give you both opinions,

 

[LiquidCarbon]

im so sorry for you mate!


your car was lush at harlow meet!

 

[polarbert]

You had AST's & it was corner weighted aswell in that case

Yes of course, nothing like a bit of insurance fraud while hes at it hey?

 

[Limca]

okay updates. My sister's nissian micra has been written off. The repair costs are more than the value of the car. The micra did have stupid amounts of high mileage. They gave her the option to buy it back for £50, but she would have to repair the car in order for the car to be driven. She has decided to buy a new car now.

awaits news on my ph1 ;(
