richdavs Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 well, 2 moths ago i picked up my lovely silver gti. 05plate with only 4000miles.it was an absolute minter, not a scratch and looked like the day it came out of the factory. and with a 4hour clean every friday afternoon without fail, still looked like this now, until last night.was abit hungry so thought id pop out to the chippy, as you do, so i parked up in the carpark opposite, carefully choosing the best space (theres an art to finding the right spot lol) but looks like i choose the wrong one this time.as i came out of the chippy, i walked into carpark 2 see a mitsubishi l200 warrior reversing towards my car. i thought to myself he aint going to stop and then i heard it... crunch.been into vw 2day and they looked at it. front bumper bent and cracked and pushed up, wing bent in and pushed out about 10mm, main beam light smashed, carrier for raddiator fan bent, some other bracket or sumthin bent. but im gonna take his insurance for all i can, brand new everything, even if it could be easily fixed i want a brand new one, and vw have said they will do thisso bit p***ed off but oh well, it'll get sortedrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richdavs Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 what must have cost a fortune, the car or the damage.car was 8500damage, well i took it to vw but theres now bodyshop there so not a proper figure, but they looked and said with new parts, spraying and labour, will be about 1500. but if bodyshop have a proper look they might find more damage below the surface. but at least i know everything that is even slightly damaged will be replaced with new. and i know it will because i know a couple of the chaps quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
