Title: Not a good day for this wee golf...
Post by: martinGTT on 11 August 2012, 18:11

 :cry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:!!!

After some kind gent in a van decided to take a corner far too fast and far too wide crossing onto my side of the road.. he kindly left me with.. A door jammed shut & dented, Wing flattened.. bumper cracked.. Scraps all down the drivers side to rear bumper! :-( Pics dont really show the damage.. and for some strange reason.. the passenger side lamp is stuck on now? odd!

Probably end up being a Cat D due to cost of repair's and Value/Age of the car..!

No way will that get repaired. You'll get a payout.

Hope all involved got out okay.

Be a simple job to buy it back from the insurance company afterwards and fix it up though mind you  :smiley:

Well thats the plan to just buy it back and repair, cause it is/was a spot on car before hand!  :cool:

Agreed. The only real expensive will be the rear quarter. Be a bit of a pain changing the door too.
