Unfortunately three badly damaged panels is more than likely an insurance write-off these days with valvers.

 

Sounds like you might have to buy it back from the ins. company and repair it yourself.

yup what i was thinking, got no place to fix it in this winter

My insurance company wrote my VR off earlier this year when I destroyed a deer. Needed new wing, light, bonnett and door. Bought it back off them, sourced secondhand parts, got them sprayed up and fixed it myself. Made about £1500 profit.

 

I felt like crying at the time but getting it back on the road 6 months later (VR bonnetts are ard to find) it felt like I had just bought the car all over again.

[LJ 0]

Not good :-(

 

I can recommend Motorama, on the Wroughton road out of Swindon from J16. He's repaired a few cars my wife "modified", and he did a top job for little money. Swindon Audi recommended him at the time for non-insurance work.

[Deluk 0]

if any one has a drivers wing + door maybe a bumber in red not sure what red it is ,or in other colours will be ok

[Mave 0]

Nooooo, unlucky mate! :(

 

Hope you get it sorted though, name and shame this dollard driver!

[Phil K 0]

Sh1t, sorry to hear this chap... best of luck getting it sorted :?

Just seen this :( Gutted for you.

 

If it's a write off, you've always got the option of buying it back off your insurers really cheap. Then you can break it, make a few quid and get a VR with the insurance money and the money from breaking :wink:

i was thinking that how much do they let them go for after .

was about to book it into for the cams too.

thing is i need a car for work i liked driving my C 30 miles eachway to work gives me time to think .

 

i would like a vr but the cost of running it is to high , i would like to get mine back on the road.

bet that wont happen soon

[catch_twotwo 0]

If the insurance come around to look and then write it off they'll value the car as is and then give you a figure (at least that's what I understand). so if you've got something nice then take it off before they come.

 

At least that's what I'd do.. unless it's illegal of course then i wouldn't :lol:

[CazzaVR 0]

In theory, the VR should be more expensive to run. However, my current 16v has approx the same fuel consumption as my 2 VRs, and I've spent way more in maintenance on the valver too...

 

Wish I'd bought another VR in the first place- thought I was doing the sensible thing!
