Smacked my V6...DOH!!

[mitch_]

Leaving work last night I didnt notice that the security guard had already locked the gate. The diagonal bar cut straight into my bumper, headlight and front left wing. I seem to remember that Ronins bumper was just over £350, Im figuring the headlight will be a good £6-700 but I have no idea about the front wing. Anybody got any clues??

Ahhhhh balls. Hope its sorted soon buddy.

Sometimes see the headlights on ebay. Mk1 or Mk2?

 

[mitch_]

MK2 so its a xenon discharge.

id check out ebay as already suggested mate, hope you can get it sorted.

my front bumper was 297 + vat, if i remember zeon head lamps are about £500 i had to have one replaced when somebody crashed in to my old 172. Its the painting and fitting that costs the most.

Never gutted for you mate hope all is sorted quickly

 

[mitch_]

Hopefully Ill get it sorted pretty quickly. I took some pics of it but havent got anywhere to post them. Ive not decided whether to replace the bumper and left wing yet or not. We shall see......

off topic - but why the hell is the front bumper on the mk1 priced at £850, and the mk2 one so cheap?

soooo if a mk1 had a front end then we might aswell all pay the extra and fit the mk2 front end?!

mitch - i bet you feel gutted mate, sorry to hear the bad news.

Well it looks like it might be back together by the early part of next week, which would be nice. Still money I could be spending on better things though. Oh well, spilt milk and all that.

 

[Dash]

Oh well, spilt milk and all that.

Thats the spirit.

Im crying on the inside!!! I dont want to look soft. Its always worse when stuff like this happens at work, especially when youre in the motor trade. Everybodys dying to give you grief for having a Clio V6 when you work at a VW garage.

Bet a bodyshop could repair the front wing.

Ive sent it to the bodyshop I used when I we were TVR dealers as they are glass fibre specialists. Theyve decided to laminate the panels back into shape as there are not pieces missing. Just need the lamp now I guess.
