Ian_C Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Looks like it still drives. Suspension and subframes okay? If the damage is just bodywork you *might* be okay. Cars have been written off for less though..... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadstoys Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Door gap still looks ok, but with at least a new wing, bonnet, bumper, lights and trim, plus labour and paint - if you go through insurance it will possibly be a write off I'm afraid. otherwise you could probably get it repaired yourself for around £600 depending if you use genuine panels or not.

kermitfrog Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Another vote for write off I'm afraid Had similar car but less damage a couple of years ago and it was straight off to the scrappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least she is okay and hopefully the person she hit hasn't got a fictive neck injury that warrants the standard £4k ins pay out.

steelwind101 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi I had a crash like that just a yr ago in the 106 (thats a 1998) and CIS paid up £1990 repair. Then about 8 months ago on the other side £1250, new door and wing re-sprayed and dent removal. I just told CIS i couldent get another car like it (plus the CIS approved garage told CIS it was mint). Also, if you look around too you will find adverts for your car @ like £2900 which are good to print out and send in with your claim!! Here it is repaired in the snow the other day Geoff EDITED: Due to REALLY bad spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 If that's a write off, the world's gone feckin mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I suppose it depends how much the car is worth. It was completely mint with only 36k so prob worth about 2.5k. If the damage is around that prob be a write off. Had another look in daylight today and it doesnt look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 UPDATE Looks like its going to cost in the region of 1.5k. Car will be finished and ready to drive next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
