Blue_Joe 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Well - Just got back to a very brief journey to the petrol station! Got 30 secs down my road, went to turn left into a single lane road (but not one way!) doing about 10mph if that. It's a blind bend as there is a building on the corner. Coming the other way was a fiesta with 2 guys in the car. They were going too fast to be approching the corner as it was. I stopped. They skidded into me. :( Nothing too major than kfully. I'll need a new set of indicators and fogs. New Rieger bumper. New bonnet. Well I wanted it resprayed anyway!!!! Can you all keep a lookout for an good condition early bonnet as they aren't available new anymore!!!! Also might be a good opportunity to get in-pro fogs for nowt on the insurance!!!!! Gutted though!!! Bet you it ends up a 50/50 claim! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were not moving and hit you, then its his fault. get onto a civil claim for unisuranced loses, time etc calls, asap use this website if you have to mate http://www.miic.org.uk/ it will provide you with there insurance details if they turn out to be false.

DUB 0 Posted December 18, 2006 yeah fair play get some pic up of the damage bud Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crispy 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Right attitude on repair, not like me... I live right by Fareham if it's the one in Hampshire, but what would I do with it then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Well so far the insurance company has been great. Asked if I wanted them to arrange repair or if I had a garage I would prefer to use. Said I had a garage. They said take it to them to start get the quote done and they would get an engineer to them within 3 days to approve the quote. As soon as that is done the work will start straight away. So should be early in the new year and it will all be done. They are going to spray the whole car as well sorting out a few minor issues with body work and a few body modifications while I'm at it that I've had in mind for a while. But I'll keep them a surprise for now. Personally I think it was my Fast's fault as it was his first ride out in the car!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
