spotted liquid yellow 182 crashed

[freeman(clio)]

Spotted this whilst at work, i work as a mechanic and do mobile diagnostics, whilst at a job over middlesbro way i spotted a liquid yellow 182 with rear end damage, it was a 54plate with ktec exhaust and cliosport stickers in window and lowered on anthracite turinis

 

[McGherkin]

Ffs, people need to stop crashing LY182's. There won't be any left when I come to buy one :dapprove:

 

[MDP91]

This makes me sad to hear

 

[sbridgey]

[freeman(clio)]

Kv54 on the plate had small plate on front, osr of car non existant

May have been ClioDS's LY, used to belong to a guy named Tommy_C iirc. Only one local with Turini's that i know off.

Such a shame if it was as it was a stunning example :dapprove:

[Knuckles]

Aww no I was hoping it wasn't yours

 

[jonw279]

Gutted for you mate! Tommys ly was a mint car!

 

[MDP91]

Such a shame mate, you've barely had it have you?

 

[ClioDS]

Thanks guys! I really am devastated,only had it about 6 weeks aswell. Il find out this week if it's a write off but my gut felling is that it is my plan if it is a write off is to get another one for sure though,love them...

 

[chrizz]

Aww man, gutted for you mate. Was looking forward to getting some pics
If its a write off, any chance I could sneak the front bumper away without anyone noticing

 

[ClioDS]

Well if it's a write off I may be able to buy it back and then break the car for parts so il reserve the bumper for you lol!

 

[.GAZ.]

FFS! Unlucky mate!

Located in Edinburgh by any chance, plate kinda looks like VOSA?

 

[Tommy_C]

Sorry just seen your message mate as I said im in Italy phone must be buggering about.

Words cannot describe how gutted I am :-( after 2 years of keeping it mint!!!

Hope it's good news but rear ended clios rarely end well.

 

[Ged]

well driver who hit you can hardly say he did not see you, pretty hard to miss a LY! Hate seeing a thread title like this

 

[DanielJames]

Noooooooooooooo

 

[ClioDS]

Well iv just been informed my clio is a complete write off because it's in excess of £4,500 to repair. I am honestly devastated!!!

 

[Budgie]

Buy it back and break it.

Good news is you'll get pretty good money as a payout because they still sell for good money in LY.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Shame its been written off, especially as its not your fault it happened.

 

[Hodgins]

very sad to hear
if you were to break it i think you would havea lot of interest
i.e. me lol
(no vulture intended)

 

[Caekii]

Ahh sorry to hear about this.

I'd ask for a copy of the engineers report they used to write it off, and use it to get a price on fixing it as it sounds like it was a very well looked after motor. Having had an insurance company tell me a car I had pranged needed £3500 worth of repairs I got a payout of £2.5k for the car, bought it back for £495 intending to break it and ended up getting it fixed for £500... £1500 remaining paid for a lovely holiday lol! Especially as its obvious you were planning on keeping it for a good while longer!

This makes me sad. Gutted for you mate, hope insurance aren't knobs.

 

[Luke.]

Gutting.. Any pics of the damage? They normally dont take a lot to write them off..

 

[markerboy2002]

That sucks another LY 182 off the road

 

[freeman(clio)]

Its the way the full boot has pulled out on the ns that concerned me, but i don't think it would cost a great deal to repair, sure i spoke to you at rs tuning when it made 175hp

 

[LY04 GAV]

Buy it back and break it.

Hi there no you wont i got pennies for mine they offered me £2400 for it lol they look at it as not many were sold so not many people wanted them so there not worth as much as a silver or what eva cause more of them were sold so more people want them haha wat a load of crap i said it toke me weeks to get wa i wanted .

 

[MartinR]

Shame!!

Sorry mate but how do you know so much about my car?

Just realised you were the guy that started this spotted thread.....FAIL by me lol

 

[Peteappo]

sorry to hear that a great example of a beautiful car is on its way to the scrap. try and buy it back might be cheaper than you thought to get it back and repair it

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

The roads round here are terrible, not hard to get rear ended as no one knows where they are going, and its generally full of idots.

my girlfriend has trouble driving round here as she learnt to drive in york, and she doesnt understand that we sort of have to make our own routes, this caught her out on the a19 flyover.

Sorry to here about your LY

A survey done recently by motor insurers showed Middlesbrough as an injury claim hotspot!

If you go down the 'BUY IT BACK' road, then I can recommend a fantastic bodyshop in the Teesside area. They will do it at a fraction of the cost of the main stealers and I guarantee the job will be of outstanding quality.

That doesn't surprise me there are a lot of people round here who will grab every penny they get, the bloke my girlfriend gently sideswiped got out the car screaming and shouting waving his arms around, then a week later he was crippled with whip lash without seeking medical attention.


Is it a bad rear end job eg boot floor creased, or just cosmetic ?
