[specialK]

steve really sorry to hear that - how bad is the damage? how long gonna take to fix? it is fixable isnt it? glad to hear you are ok though!

 

[Big Iain]

Like wise mate sorry to hear about that!!

 

[2 live]

steve mate was absolutely gutted for ya pal.........least no 1 was hurt pal....

doesnt feel like the floors bent at all, just the sill.......door......bumper.......shud be an easy fix mate i reckon....but apparently u gotta change ecu wen the airbags gone off so im told......but if u pull the bulb on the warning light.....hehe no ecu renewal....

 

[richy]

it will be air bag computer bud not ecu they lock up after impact

 

[2 live]

dunno mate.these new fangled design of things ......but the car is all cosmetic damage more or less by the looks of it

 

[richy]

should be ok if none of airbags/pretensioners etc didnt go off

 

[riplash]

Feel for you dude, I wrote mine off in March.

 

[Djw John]

Aw man, thats harsh, at least no one is hurt but thats a real shame.

 

[BRUN]

if the air bags went off, im sorry to say but you will be looking at a big bill to reset it all and fit new ones......

hope your ok !

 

[JAY172]

you will need a new airbag ecu as well.

least your ok steve. cars can be replaced people cant.

 

[Daipac]

Sh*t man ! That is not good ! Really sorry to hear that ! I hope it can be saved !

 

[172mgw]

steve it just gets worse and worse for u, m8 u know where i am if u need me

 

[RS-Steve]

Cheers everybody!!

Hopefully its all cosmetic. after lookin at it yest i think the worst parts will be sortin out the Airbag an gettin a new seat!! The rest should be a case of pullin out or new panals.

Dont think ill be at the trackday at the end of the month, or if i am i wont be in the car!! Hopefully shell be back on the road for the france trip, belguim shouldnt be a problem if i havent sold her by then!!

 

[JillyB]

Sorry Steve

Hope you havent got a big excess on your insurance.

 

[S2 PTH]

btw, if ure gettin new seats, see if u can get a bucket put in the drivers side

 

[Wezzie]

Sorry to hear like i said to you earlier hope you get it all sorted. If you need a lift to pick it up or anything just ask.

 

[Clart]
