My mate drove into the side of my car last night, unintentionally, and im now left with this (see pics).
The alloy got scuffed, the wing is mashed, and the door doesnt open properly because of the wing.
I have since taken the wing off today and its only cosmetic really.
But the main problem is the door, how the hell do I get it fixed.
Ive tried ebay, local breakers, VW dismantler etc, all dont have a matching part for my car.
The wing needs replacing anyway as it took most of the force, the door hasnt got paint damage, its just bent out.
Anyone had similar problems or had to get this done?
Im ok about it but the most annoying thing is the door not opening properly!

Isn't this what insurance is for? Your mate should offer to put it through - after all it was his fault!! :laugh: :laugh:
-
thanks rich, i found that one on ebay this morning, its my last hope, he hasnt replied to me yet though!!
ill try the other link as well.
I do have a 5 door btw! and i wouldnt be that mean to my mate lol, even though he deserves a bit of a beating insurance is gonna be a rip off!
the zs didnt suffer much coz it was already dented anyway!!
-
jesus, are you scared of ur mate? he should be sorting this out himself or through insurance!!
-
The lesson is never have a mate who owns a ZS, there sh!t and he wont mind crashing it :laugh:
-
Your mate drove into your car,yet your footing the bill for a new wing/door and sprayed to match?
Has he offered to pay?
-
Mate or not, I'd tell him to cough up, or you'll go through your insurance company to claim on his.

ive got a mate with a ZS and i know that first he would rather shoot himself in the face with a shotgun than crash it,
Would only cost about 25 pound to replace the body work, its an MG :lipsrsealed:

what car is next jules??
-
Getting a cooper s works for the year mate as they hold there value well and go like stink, 60-100 its like a rocket! Funnily enough im after a 335i beemer next year (300 odd bhp) and it has the same bhp/ton as the mini :laugh:
I am very keen on a mk4 anni though, had a go in the cooper and it was nice but cheap inside (supercharger sounds cool!) need to have a go in the golf.
Should have around 9k to play with.
-
yeah if any of my mates did anyhtign to mine they know thier paying not me! Please tell us he is payign for all this as it aint gunna be cheap and if not the f**k it go through insurace, how did he managed to hit your car in the first place?
-
Probably like this mate

They cant turn so have to cut across corners :laugh:
-
Yeah my mum has a cooper S ! They are quick, they have a feature called ' Kick down' which is like a little button under the throttle pedal ,and if pressed it goes like sh!t off a shovel :grin:
Did you not find it quite dark inside though? And also very hard to see out of? If i had a nice 9k, i would most certainly be getting myself a nice bmw x5, dont hold value too well, but fantastic cars
Each to their own :laugh:
-
lol I get enough drug dealer innuendos as it is in the R32 mate, never mind an X5 :laugh:
There are lots of cars i could get but need to lose as little as possible, i would just buy an E46 M3 otherwise!
Was very dark mate, would like one with the panoramic roof to help but not too fussed, the missus will be using it more than me.

well it looks like were avoiding insurance, argued it out today and decided its gonna cost less to fix than the cost of the insurance excess, so currently getting bodyshop quotes, cash my way tho :)
