Ouch!
« on: 27 December 2010, 22:06 »

Well all I have to say about winter tyres is I think they are a good call...... and I wish I had some!

For the 2nd time in the 8 months of owning (5 months of driving) my MK6 GTI, I have one word to sum up my feelings...... "gutted"!

Ah well, I guess no one was hurt and so it's Mr insurance man to the rescue again!

PS scuse the grill, it should be red however paint.net seems to have changed the colour?

Oh dear! So sorry for this to have happened.

New bumper, new grille, fix bonnet. Have the front wings been moved backwards?

£1500+. Ouch!

Glad you are ok. Get yourself some winter wellies.

The front wings haven't moved. What's gonna cost is the front spoiler (£695 on e-bay - I guess more from the dealer). I was going to just get myself a new grill until the insurance comes through! And then I saw the prices!

Grille approx £160 + VAT. I know, I had to have a new one. :sick:

Factoring in the new bumper price which I got a bit wrong, £2000+! Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Winter tyres wouldn't have stopped you any faster if it makes you feel any better.

I feel for anyone who has damaged their motors in this weather  :sad:

Doc 'knows' winter tyres may not have helped and Martin just 'knows'.

We should wear Doc Martins and the world will be right again. :evil: :laugh:




I waited a long time to say this! :grin:
