Title: someone's smashed into my Rallye!!!
Post by: Charged on 10 December 2007, 19:47
Car was parked up outside a mates and some c*** smashed into side of my Rallye and drove off!!  :cry: :angry: Insurance can't help me so can anyone help me get a sill for drivers side (LHD) and rear quarter panel? Or does anyone know a good panel beater/fabricator? Thought i'd ask on here first before I go to some body-shop and get a crazy quote...

 :shocked: You mean you don't have 360° CCTV on your car 24/7?

But seriously, goto a few panel beaters/fabricators, get ya quotes and try push the prices down by going back to them with the quotes from other places. Otherwise check the bay/gsf/vwspares/VW dealerships for the few parts you need.

Yeah enit just! Insurance can suck my plumbs!!!

But yeah, i've been scanning the bay for a couple weeks. Did notice some rear panels on there a few months ago but didn't ever think i'd need em, how wrong I was!  :sad:

Problem is I aint got much access to net much now so am hoping my fellow VW lovers can help me out on here. Looks like i'm gonna be dusting off my bank card for some body shop to sting me. Thing is whenever i've had small bits done in shops before they don't have any knowledge/respect for the Rallye, their works always been top quality but I think i'd like my car fixed by somone who loves the badge as much as me.

I live in Northants but am willing to travel, so if anyone knows a shop with the knowledge I think i'd prefer to use them, had heard of somewhere in Brum but I forget who they were...

Failing that i'm gonna get my hammer out and have a go myself  :laugh:

Seriously though, every time I look at her I feel sick to the bottom of my gut!! Will try to take some pics to put on here but I aint makin any promises as I'd rather not look at the crumpled mess that is my baby, takin pics might be too painful...  :cry:

I know VW dont have these bits as I have tried, there is a guy on dubforce breaking one tho.

Sills will be hard to come by, but rear quarters should pop up on the bay.

For paint try creative colour workshop
