Smashed clio!!!!!!!!!



  Mondeo TXS Bardge.
i got shunted by a taxi driver, back in october and it still out standing only minimal repars to my car the door only needed a crease taking out and a new wing but when the repairer looked at ti writting up the estamate there was a list of parts as long as his arm, he repalaced the full door, with trim (handle bump rail, repeater 1.6 badge spoort badge, wing and arch lining. But he did not repair my alloy which was standard equip, it has a scar in it will need refurbed at some point or replaced more likely. but i suppose i was paying the first £470 of repairs to the went to town.
for some reason her taxi has apprently "major damage" i think her front suspension collapsed or some thing the wheels were sitting like /----\ and she then proceeded to try and drive it away agood 500 meters to a car bus stop, i could have tolder her it was fooked but, she new better., cosmetically there was just a cricket ball size dent in her wheel arch (for 53 focus Lx estate probs bout 100k on the clock and dodgy servicing/maintenance)

Taxi drivers arounf here are notorious for lying really really badly. the story she told her insurnace was a completley different accident from the one i was in. she then revised her storey to similar event to mine, then i got a "witness" statement though from another taxi driver who works for the same company who wa son the other side of the round about from the crash and could not have seen it, he also thought i had a car that could bend the laws of physics, being able to get to 40mph, in 6 feet.

im still waiting on my excess back, My insurance (RAC) are adamant that this was her fault, basically me on round about at stop due to buss blocking exit lane, indicate and move into the next lane like the 4 other cars around me, she flys straight on and into my car at 30mph. but she wont admit fault so the lawyers are now involved and getting no response at all to the 12 letters so far sent to her lawyers.(can threy just phone?--- yeah i know leagally they need to doccument all correspondance)

its a right polava. hope you claim goes smoother than mine.

could be worse yous could have ended up like my mate Scott's, do you think this was a write off.

that should be a write off, i had a front right impact nowhere near as bad as that and the costs came to £2500, i was given the option to write it off or repair it. They offered me good money, so was a no brainer.

shouldnt be a write off at all.

only needs a rear quarter :S paint door/quarter/blow into bumper.

i'd of had a new rear 1/4 and b pillar, new rear window aswel as this is not reuseable once removed.

i got a quote from an insurance approved bodyshop to fix my clio which only had a key'd mark on it and that was £500 due to the rear window needing to be removed to allow for it to be painted properly.
