was gonna update my other build thread with an epic oil and fuel filter change on monday but check out my latest modifications!
Right what happened was I went to pick up the mum's medicine at local chemist and come back to find that!
The guy had the decency to come back and give me his details, appreciated what he had done though. But anyway, I seen a bit of plastic sitting on my bonnet and I thought to myself "must have been the wee kids throwing **** at my car". sat in the car, looked at the wing mirror and thought something wasn't right. lady knocks on my window and asks if I had hit her car. Her hyundai was less damaged, as it was only her wing mirror. she tried to blame me but I had just got back.
The guy that hit us showed up saying he came out the give way and a car was coming down really fast (it was a tight road) and he sways to avoid him and fucks it into my car.
For me, I was a tad annoyed but at the back of my mind, I knew I was getting the Type R shell anyway. Only thing that pissed me off was the new bumper was cracked! Was hoping to sell that on as it is still in matte black and unpainted.
So the damage;
- slight crack on edge of the front bumper
- passenger side wing hammered and scratched badly
- side repeaters gone
- passenger door handle also hammered and scraped
- wing mirror destroyed (mechanics still work!)
- rear quarter panel stabbed twice and side mouldings gone
- last but not least, the integra wheel has a tiny tiny scratch
I don't think I want to go with insurance. as it will most likely screw my premiums next year. So i'll probably price the damage up and say for example it came to like £800, I'll ask for £600 and prob DIY it and put it towards my reshell. I will have to see what happens...... just waiting on his transport manager to get back to me as it was his company truck
