Kenny's Mk4 Updated pics.

[kenny_fr]

Hi guys new to the forum so thought I should finally put up pics of the car theres a catch though, only one pic at the moment due to only having it 10days and some women driver decided to modify my front end. Heres wot it looked like before the incident.

ouch...hope the damage isnt too bad!

welcome to the forum tho!

i must have taken 50+ pics of my car in the first week! lol

She caused 3.5k worth of damage in a left hand drive mazda mx5 wheels face different directions pulled out of a give way junction and ran into me but says im to blame lol apparently so police told me due to witnessing it she thinks if you indicate that means you can pull out people should slow down for you. I must have been getting this all wrong since I passed

an assesor has been out and valued the damage so should hopefully be getting it back on the road soon driving a crappy new shape vauxhall corsa 1.2at the moment hate it . Not sure what to do with it with modifications any ideas?

Sounds like you've had a bit of bad luck! I hope when it's repaired it will be as good as new mate.

As for modifications have a look in the MK4 FAQ section. Will give you loads of ideas.

Welcome to the site btw

welcome to the site kenny - i'm relatively new and they are a good bunch on here. oodles of info as well. have a good look round matey.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Sounds pretty smashed! Hope you gave her some stick. Bloomin hair dressers!

 

[kenny_fr]

I couldnt give abuse as the police witnessed the crash said on the spot she was to blame for not giving way. Car needs 3 new alloys, front passenger wing, passenger head light, front bumper plus repair the bonnet and other mechanical bits that are gubbed.

Only positive thing is the injury claim should bring tastefull mods lol

 

[hon_n_gem]

that must be a proper pain in the arse! at least you wil have a few quid for mods!

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Only positive thing is the injury claim should bring tastefull mods lol

Good man!

 

[kenny_fr]

Finally a bit of good news the insurance company of the women who crashed into me have finally admited liability, has only taken them three weeks even though the women still says im at fault so work starts on repairing the ibiza tomorrow body shop have managed to work spraying the side mouldings and a few engine parts into the repair cost so might not work out too bad after all

Good stuff mate.

You will be glad to get it back and enjoy it again.

 

[kenny_fr]

Sure will only had it for 10days so never really got the chance to properly drive it.

Any one know any places in scotland preferably near glasgow that will supply and fit coilovers struggling to find anywhere.

Hey guys finally got car back after being in the bodyshop
for over two months due to an insurance company not
paying out for repair. Anyway heres two not so good pics
of the damage doesnt look like much due to it being dark
but it was bad enough for me.

Then how it looked when I got it back, first mods a bit of de-badging

Anyone spot any differences to a standard fr?

 

[Altech]

Car looks spot on now mate...bet your glad just to have it back thou!

Only difference i think is the opening rear windows? and mabye the rear wiper?

 

[brad1]

nice car, just hope you got all the insurance sorted out

 

[Markie68]

the front grills are hollowed out

 

[kenny_fr]

Yeh really glad to get it back the phrase i would rather
push my seat than drive a vauxhall springs to mind.

Lol the difference is the alloys and mirrors have been
painted a darker grey to match the colour on the dash. Will
need to take closer pics of them or park next to a standard fr.

New side lights to add to the mod list

HID's to be fitted next.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Looks nice now!

I work in a body shop and it's terrible the amount of time insurance will keep cars from people. It's just sending an engineer out to authorise the work that takes time.

 

[kenny_fr]

Well they took far too long with it for my liking lol few things i wasnt happy
with when I got it back firstly there were a few scratches on the sides that
werent there before it went in but thats sorted now also the new headlight
that they fitted is constantly showing signs of condensation. Tried venting it
and drying it out with a hair dryer but still keeps happening.

So with that not so positive thing in mind i treated myself to a HID kit and LCR
spliter will post pics soon.

 

[kenny_fr]

Hey guys not updated this in a while so thought it might
be time to show some progress pics had a mini-shoot with
a mate and his newly acquired lcr so let me know what you think.
