oh dear, ive just crashed my hybrid (valver)

[jay s]

oh f**k, ive just smashed my car up. was coming up a slip road to join the a13, saw the normal set of lights change to amber and the woman in front of me slammed on her brakes. i slammed mine on as i was quite close to her and i started to skid, quickly chucked it left to miss her and ended up hitting her nearside bumper then went up on the pavement and smashed in to a lamppost. damage caused to my car is quite alot, front bumper in half, bonnet proper fucked, both front wings smashed 1 more than other. angel eye bent in half and the bit that concerns me most is a big metal bit that seems pushed back alot ( chassis i think:dapprove: ) will get some pics up tomorrow of the damage as the car is at my mums house and i did'nt have my cam with me. i think the car may be a wright off but will have a good look tomorrow and try get an expert opn on damage. if it is dead i will get another valver and get my eng dropped in....

[KyleB]

sucks to hear that mate

 

[Dan@SJM]

I know how it feels!

 

[Tyson-182]

Sorry to hear this mate. Gutted for you.

Tyson.

 

[Mondial172]

A valver has no ABS either does it? Or was it an option?

Can't believe everyone points that out as soon as we loose a Cup.

 

[Scott]

^mine has abs. think it was an option.

 

[Hector]

sorry to hear it, looks like a lot of effort went into the car as well

Re: oh dear, ive just crashed my hybrid (valver) update damage pics

took a few pics of the damage, imo its f**ked and not worth repairing. got a quote and bits i would need are bonnet and hinges o/s headlamp, o/sf wing, n/sf wing, front bumber, subframe, L shaped front from behind chassis leg to os headlight, power steering bottle, o/s wing splas sheild, would cost £700 for labour then whatever all the above cost. looks like i may get another valver...

 

[Leeshez]

Unluck fella. What a shame

 

[Craig]

f**king gutted for you fella

 

[Turkish]

yep wont be worth putting it back together. strip and sell what you can then junk the rest.

 

[AliasOmega]

eBay...

 

[jay s]

any 1 know or got a valver ( 1.8 16v ) for sale? any eng and gearbox condition welcome, needs good body tho?

 

[Djw John]

that sounds like the best bet, just reshell it all

 

[ch!ppen]

Damn man. Guttered. T'was proper nice. Any plans on what to do with the car? Stripping and selling? Just make the next one even better, if you can

 

[midge]

yo mate, theres a blue valver on ebay with a blown engine, would be prime for you, and its cheap, theres also a red one with a fucked engine but it has slight bonnet damage.

put your lump in a 1.2 shell.... you have everything you need there..

 

[jonesyx]

Unlucky mate. Have a look at the wanted threads btw, someone was looking for a single foglight if you strip it

 

[Adam]

bloody hell fella.what a mess....

 

[clio-16-valver]

buggar! gutted for you mate! bit of a shame! at least you can be postive about it and i would agree that the best thing to do is chuck the engine in another clio.

 

[jay s]

thanks for comments peeps, she will be back as its just the shell thats f**ked, wheels and coilovers r fine. im hoping the ballest pack for the xenons is ok as 1 was placed behind that headlight but i can't get to it yet, will wait till the eng comes out. also on the hunt for another valver now
