Bad Day.... - Page 2

Stevo! · 24th September 2012, 21:43

hate to be picky but you said its a 12 plate, but the car you recieved is 62

Really is a shame about the damage, though looks so much worse looking down the side of the car... could be a chance the B pillar thingy is bent which is a write of isn't it? Or is it just body work...

Chambo · 25th September 2012, 00:08

Lol true!, looks to be just the doors mate didn't notice the b pillar being bent but the guy at the repair centre didn't seem to botherd

With the price of doors being around £260-£280, where is the rest of the bill coming from???

I feel your pain ! - here, I've been "broad-sided \ t-boned" 3 times in roundabouts, although never as bad looking as your damage ...

There's something "special" about drivers in the Stavanger area - give way rules are apparently totally voluntary ! - ditto lane discipline - and as for bloody indicators, even if they do use them (and that's not often), it's quite likely to be wrong (as in blinking out of a roundabout, as if it were a normal junction) !!! ...

Think I'm dveloping "roundabout-phobia"

HenryTheHonda · 25th September 2012, 17:26

Wozers! I know exactly how you feel mate... This happened to my 48 hour old GTC, only mine was parked up.....

Gutted for ya mate

shinybadrobot · 25th September 2012, 17:54

LTRS · 25th September 2012, 19:25

Seems a lot of money, what is the breakdown?

LincsPoacher · 25th September 2012, 20:22

Devasted for you mate, I hope your back on the road with it soon. It looks a great colour too, how about some pics when its fixed?

Chambo · 26th September 2012, 13:46

mentions repairs the left b pillar and painting the new doors, pillar and left panel and to blend l/f wing l wing trim and l/f door out

abs-civic · 26th September 2012, 15:01

Ouch thats a hefty repair bill, on the plus side at least its not your fault!

Is that the side were you had a few small dent? If so at least that's getting sorted now too.

Btw is that the Accident repair centre in Letchworth by any chance? I had my car repaired by them when a bus scraped me few months ago, they did a good job.

LTRS · 26th September 2012, 18:49

Would have thought the doors come painted, atleast the bill is covered, still a shame it got the damage though chap.

Chambo · 26th September 2012, 19:33

Guess they do but brand new paint vs paint that is five years old won't match? Abs, that's correct but it is intertwined with the damage she caused, just waiting for the ok to repair as the hire car is costing her insurance company 50 pound a day excluding vat
