Dare Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Some stupid bitch slammed her anchors on and i didnt react quick enough. (my fault) I managed to swerve to the right and only hit my front left. It is lucky i didnt do more damage but that isnt makin me feel any better. I feel physically sick and dont know what to do. I just hope it can be fixed and brought back to normal. :cry: :cry: I look at the damage and i just feel distraught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Its pushed in the panel that runs over the arch. So that will need to be replaced and sprayed and so on. Ill post some pics in next 30mins, see what you guys think. Not to sound like a right pussy, but i just feel like crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 :cry:I had someone drive in to my door not too long ago - it really sucks to have your loop in a mess like that - but it will be better, it's all fixable, don't worry.I'd advise insisting that VW repair it to your insurer. (if it's bad enough for a claim) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 On a possative note (finding it hard tbo) i didnt smash any lights and i hopefully only need to replace one panel, it just feels like someone saying "thats alright youve only scarred your face slightly" (if u see what i mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 doesn't look too bad, wing and bumper only by the look of it which was lucky. might have to get your alignment chacked if it glanced off the tyre as well though. Aluminium wing could probably be beaten back into shape and just touch up the scratch as the rest of the paint isn't even scratched. Probably about £700 to get it looking like new if you take it to a vw garage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ahh yes, that definately could have been worse - if you'd mullered a xenon you'd be looking at a very large bill. Shame you didn't avoid her completely though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
