Car + Wall = :o( (with pics)

[David_smith_909]

driving down a twisty road this morning about 7:00am - half asleep, road was a national speed limit road, lost my back end going round a right hand bend and skidded sideways up a curb, front end ended up hitting a wall and spinning me round then bouncing off again with the back end before i stopped.
Managed to pick up all the pieces and get a tow home on a back of a wagon.
phoned police they came round, done the routine breathaliser etc etc etc and took all the details, said nothing would happen though as their was no damage to the wall, just tyremarks on the grass verge

could have been alot worse, could have hit another car etc etc, so happy about that, gutted about my car though

Not good !!!

Thats bad mate, glad you got out if it ok cos that looks like a pretty hard front impact

 

[JIMYU]

**** mate, thats not a pretty site. I'm gutted for you

Looks like a possible write off??

 

[David_smith_909]

dunno yet
the insurance company would probably write it off yes
might just pay for it to get fixed properly - dont wanna see it go to the graveyard

probably need just from looking at it :-

jigging
front/back bumpers
rad
bumper bars and all the jubbins behind the front bumper
possibly new ic core
bonnet
2 wings
respray
back box
light
and ALOT of little things like hoses, foglights etc etc

thats providing theirs nothing wrong with the suspension etc etc
engine starts and runs fine, just leaking coolant out the rad

going to ring insurance up and see what they say, but also going to start looking at prices etc for doing it privatly

[m0rk]

fearing for that nsf chassis leg.

should be repairable at some cost though.

cash in lieu settlement that'll help fund it

 

[daniel_owen_uk]

No airbag deployment?

 

[DPJ]

Sorry to see that, Dave.

 

[David_smith_909]

yeah my mate mention'd the chassis leg
also the engine cradle

all repairable but costly
going to get someone to have a proper look at it and tell me exactly what needs doing and go from their

airbags didnt go off

 

[David_smith_909]

ohhh thats a nasty one dave. unlucky boyo

indeed, totally gutted !
could have been worse though .. im still here at the end of the day and i didnt crash into anyone else

 

[David_smith_909]

Sorry to see that, Dave.

Bad isnt it
pics do it no justice at all, their just off my phone
actually seeing it on the drive and how bent everything is just makes me feel sick

 

[smiler220]

Nice to see the AWESOME sticker deployed ok!!!!

Mate i feal for you dude your beeza was a corker!! Lost mine a week ago on a corner but luckily managed to pull out and just grazed the front bumper on a wall so i can imagine what you went through. But your still with us and although your mods are a little different you still own the best pocket rocket!!
Keep smilin

 

[WeeJase]

.. im still here at the end of the day and i didnt crash into anyone else

that is the only thing i would be worried about right now.cars can be replaced or fixed.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

harsh about the car mate, but as said better that than anyone or yourself being hurt, hope its repairable and not too costly........

 

[Gogsie78]

[PhilW]

So have you decided yet what your gonna do as theres quite a bit of damage there.

I know its a cliche, but at least your ok.

 

[lil3520]

[Molehill_Mike]
