As promised pictures.Anyone think it will mop out with T-Cut!




Couldn't open bonnet but think radiator gone as well.

Thats a lot of damage for slower than 20 MPH

Exactly what I thought-but 15mph max!!!

Like I said earlier the other guys car had a small ding in the rear bumper.

Couldn't believe it when I got out and looked.

[Entwood]

I would have said "uneconomical to repair" but Jimbo B is getting his fixed ... so you may be lucky ...

But I wouldn't be holding my breath .....   

Good luck though

  All that at 15mph

Might need a bit of isopon as well!

Seriously a hell of a lot of damage for a 15mph shunt.

It looks as though the hit has gone over the bumper.  I presume the front suspension was compressed at the time?

Tesco carrier bags and duct tape are the best bet methinks.

Sad.

[Bourne]

If that was done at 20mph I reckon the other car must have been reversing at about 30 to do all that damage!

I doubt the ins will pay for repairs like that on a 12 year old car.

I'm afraid it's going to the knackers yard, was going to have to put in storage for a couple of months anyway come new year, when tax runs out.

Even more gutted today because as things stand- thats it for personal transport for the foreseeable future

Wouldn't have finances to fix it anyway so looks like I'll be having to use those big square lorry type things with 2 floors of seats for people they pick up at the side of the road--anyone know what they are called.

For those who doubt 15mph crash speed well -bugga off --thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
Really though had just turned right at mini roundabout and traveled about 20 yards in heavy snow on a slippy road-didn't even set off traction control so wasn't blatting it.

Real sickener though is we did have enough cat food left and there was no reason to go out yesterday-Bugga!!!

It's all about the pouint of impact, looks like it has suffered impact on more of a crumple zone area.

With it being a P plate, the external parts alone will cost more the the value of the car, then the labour and paint on top.

If any damage has been done to the inner wing then duble the cost becaused knowing how they work they will say thats and rngine out jobbie and thats why it's classed as a uneconomical repair.      and I know sod all about cars.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

That is a bad hit threepence and a great shame for you

I don't doubt your speed as once I drove my 1996 3.0 Elite into the back of a trailer on a roundabout at no more than 10 miles an hour.........£1,800 of damage, but repaired (car was then  worth around £7,000)!!

Then the recent mishap of that idiot running into the back of my stationary CDX at maybe 10 to 15 mph on impact..............£2,300 of damage and a W/O

It is amazing how miggies can fold and take them well over the "uneconomical repair" hurdle, as yours no doubt has!!

[Stevie-blunder]

  Oh dear, real shame that  feel for you mate

[zippo]

A real sickner that mate
