Why Dont People Look When They Reverse?

If she had looked at all she would have seen me. She just slowly reversed 3m turning a little as she did straight into me. I was sitting in the car honking my horn as she did it.

Luckily it’s just the front ¼ so it should be easy to replace but getting the paint to match will be a pain.

She will pay you right?

I think youll need to charge her for a front quater/inner gaurd, repair to the rim, bonnet, spraying, youll need a new front bar too (maybe sell me your old one??)

:)

On another note, your car is drivable now?

If you have comprehensive insurance & you got the details of the other driver, you just call up your insurance company & make a "not at fault" claim. It doesn't cost you a cent, you don't loose your no claim rating & the insurance company chases the other party up for the damages.

I have a mate who's going thru this at the moment with a beautiful HT Monaro. this silly Bit(h backed into his door while he was at the servo. It's next to impossible to get a good door for them now, but yeah he's got his insurance company to sort it all out for him

That's exactly what you should do. And any good place should be able to match it up 100% as well - I used browns down here in Richmond a few years ago with my metalic grey NXR, and it was a perfect job - you couldn't spot which panel they had done (and it was the same as yours, someone had backed into me).

I will make her pay but she dosnt want to. She wouldn't admit liability calming I shouldn't have been behind her and was a bit reluctant to give me her detailes. I know a few good panel beaters and have full comp insurance but I might not be able to organise it for 3 months.

AMS the seats are East Bear R34 GTR seats.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
