Got Crashed Into.

[PWND]

Couple of pics after the crash. Got a quote today, at $4500 to fix it, without replacing the bonet. repairing it instead.

Need both new headlights, grille, front bumper, reo, fr guard. may have to get a new intercooler as well. grille was wedged in front of it, but can't see if there is any damage without removing the front bar. not leaking though.

lemme know if you find a place to source the Series II coupe head lights.......Am currently using the the 4 door head lamps, as they were the only ones I found in the rush of moving to Brissy from Melb...... I live in Kenmore, and have no clue about workshops or parts places. But trust me that isn't bad.....source the panel, bar and light....put it in your self.....and any panel shop should be able to colour match that silver, and fix the dent in the bonet.

that way you can save some moneys....if you get an insurance pay out that is....

yeh, hopefully will work out. chatted to the insurance today, and they said to fax them in the quote, as well as my version of how it all happened. so gotta carefully compose the event and word it correctly so i don't get caught out on some technicality. the smash repairer that did the quote had no trouble finding the headlights. first phonecall for used ones, listed at $330 a piece on my quote. i think. quote is at home and i am at work now. can let you know when i get back home on saturday how much it is and where you can find some.

hoping to get the pay out and get a gtr front bar instead. anyways, it's all moving forward slowly, so hopefully should be on the right track early next week.

so you were doing a U turn? and he hit you.. How did you not see him coming??? or did you pull out first then decide to look???

anyway, sorry to see the damage man,

[PWND]

i didn't look behind me. just didn't think to look as i wasn't expecting a car to be overtaking all the cars in the traffic jam and on the wrong side of the road......

Your front bar can be plastic welded for about $50 , and will be prept ready to paint. Good luck

[skyred92]

you think he will pay up think again

if this dude will not admit fault you have a problem (court time )

daughter had smash 4x4 did a u turn in front of her

4x4 put indicator on to turn left pulled over then did u turn in front of her car

he said not my fault and insurance said they can not pay her until he states its his fault but it never was resovled ( 18 months ) he got off scott free he paid his damage and she paid hers ( we had two wittness )

so make shore you get police accident number or you too will end up like this

you can not get anywere with out accident number been there done that

good luck but be pepared to do your own repairs at costs to you.

even if he sticks with his story it could and will take two to three years to get the money off him

sorry to say this

but its a real world out there if you dont want to pay the law say you dont pay but if you say yes i`m at fault well you pay end of subject

i didn't look behind me. just didn't think to look as i wasn't expecting a car to be overtaking all the cars in the traffic jam and on the wrong side of the road......

i would have heard the siren. i had a quick glance, but was mainly keeping my eyes on the front of the road because that's where i was expecting traffic to come from.

i do the same when for an example turning left onto a street, i look right for traffic. i give left a glance, do a thorough check of right and go.....

the cops say it is clearly his fault, but i have had fun with insurance companies before, so we shall see.
