ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Things are looking up. Cheers people, I have cleaned up the damage and put some film over the exposed lamp. Dom, I possibly have one coming, although if it is also tatty reflectors can I take you up on that, But I cant take it for free, atleast let me get you a few Vodka and Irn Bru's :D A friend who took a closer look reckons it can be tapped out, and maybe a touch of filler but it gives me a great excuse for a front end respray :D and even if it is in need of replacement I found a breakers online who reckon they have one for a ton delivered in dragon green Also the headlamp was pushed back but the plastic gave way before the metal broke so it all should bend back in shape, and the slam pannel is almost unafffected. Could have been worse. Teach me to listen to Nosebleed Techno on the way to work I spose. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickRStorm 0 Posted July 13, 2007 What a bummer, Rog - feel for you :( I have a good headlight unit (reflector is also good) you are welcome to for free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Rog.. Almost had the same today ... B'stid BMW 3 touring driver with No Lane discipline or indicators... went to go round him coming off roundabout onto dual crrageway and he just drifted into my lane! Lots of combined Bakes and headlights.. Fortunately didn't hit him (or his car :lol: ).... There are some complete hand shandies out there, it seems like there's a Rado/old VW witch-hunt on the roads recently... Best of luck getting this sorted quickly matey...

dukest 0 Posted July 14, 2007 You may even be lucky enough to see the 997 GT2 that is being unveiled this week. mmm, saw that on PH, can we all come look over the fence?! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 14, 2007 Hmm Probably shouldn't of said that. Drunken posting again! Official sources from Porsche have been quoted as saying " Porsche have not oficially announced such a model, and anything to the contrary is purely press speculation".

NickRStorm 0 Posted July 14, 2007 Were such a model to actually exist, would you have a view on when it might make an appearance in Reading? 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vornwend 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Bad luck mate. Really feel for you. Having recently been rear ended at traffic lights and taking 6 weeks to get it sorted I know the feeling. Its great when you get it back though! I put grease around the exposed metal work while it was waiting to go into the bodyshop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2007 just seen this thread, sorry to see that Rog mate :( fingers crossed for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 17, 2007 Cheers Dave, Its a Sh1tter alright. However I must say thanks to NickRStorm who came up with a minty Headlight. This forum is an invaluable meeting ground for thoroughly bloody nice people. Onwards and upwards, Time to get a quote on bashing out the wing and getting a bit of a front end spray.

dinkus 10 Posted July 17, 2007 So are you sorted on the headlight front then? I shall shove mine back in the cupboard if so :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, Cheers though Dom. Shot over to Nicks yesterday, and had a browse round his minty Storm and 996C4S, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djmac56 0 Posted July 18, 2007 shiessenhauser! I can't believe you've had such bad luck. Keep us posted of your progress with the repairs - I always like to see a rado restored to its former glory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted July 25, 2007 WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! Ive just had an aqua blue wing delivered, a scrapyard search engine on Tinternet found one for £68 delivered! Toad has agreed to gimme a hand fitting. Should be back where I was before the incident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
