Gutted....

paulf · 09-21-2014, 12:34 PM

She wasn't even looking out the windscreen as she hit us. Less than 3000 miles notched up and someone drives straight into the car. Actually "Gutted" is an understatement!
Will be on the phone at 9am tomorrow to try and get this fixed.

paulf · 09-21-2014, 12:35 PM

Let's see who gets closest to the actual repair bill....

NISFAN · 09-21-2014, 12:35 PM

Ouch

Hope you get it sorted OK.

Thanks.... NISFAN I'm hoping its just replacement body panels and nothing mechanical

JD6 · 09-21-2014, 01:12 PM

Sorry to hear that. Looks painful. £3400 is my guess

d4springer · 09-21-2014, 01:20 PM

Well that's a bit crap, I take it you weren't moving at the time?

I feel for you.

edz_f06 · 09-21-2014, 01:25 PM

Ouch, hope you get it sorted soon

DazC · 09-21-2014, 01:29 PM

Sore one buddy. Well over £2k damage I'd say.

Hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction mate.

F30AM · 09-21-2014, 01:31 PM

Really gutted for you.
Repair £4200 inc VAT.

ken m sport · 09-21-2014, 01:31 PM

So sorry for you mate. I guess £4.5k

....,,,,..,,.. · 09-21-2014, 01:37 PM

Sorry mate, that totally sucks, where did it happen?

It's going to be on the 4k mark, if more than panels then add another 1k.

Nick the Greek · 09-21-2014, 01:38 PM

That's four and a half worth of damage.

Speaking from experience, last week, make sure you get your car into a BMW body shop. Don't worry about the bollocks written about the colour being difficult to match. My new rear bumper is perfect.

Only if it's a petrol

Tengocity · 09-21-2014, 02:23 PM

Ouch! That looks painful.. Gutted for you.

SkyJawa · 09-21-2014, 02:44 PM

I'm going 5k.

What a nightmare tho, summed up by saying "she"

teaston · 09-21-2014, 02:48 PM

Sorry to see this mate.

Easily Â£5k i'd say.

Steven1077 · 09-21-2014, 02:51 PM

That's probably an easy fix, new bonnet bumper and lights, still very annoying though.

I'd come to a standstill, foot on brake pedal (not in park)...

Cootie · 09-21-2014, 03:01 PM

I reckon £5k as well. Wouldn't be surprised if there will be some work required in both the engine bay and suspension, but hopefully not.

teaston · 09-21-2014, 03:02 PM

Actually it's a halogen headlight which knocks about Â£400 off, so i'm saying Â£4,600
