Leaving work on Monday night, I was sitting at a roundabout when a Pug 306 decides to have a closer look at my rear end, it was the old sceanrio he thought I had driven off, didn't look and Bang

I am not having much luck, only had it fixed after Christmas after the HGV scraped the same bumper

Here is the result:


The boot wont close now, so I have taped it shut




Bumper is mangled, rear light is sticking out


Ouch


You can see how its twisted the rear boot panel

The driver admitted fault, the repair centre are having a look at it next Tuesday

Doesn't look good does it?

 

what bad luck mate hope ya insured with a decent company.......

 

fooking hell it did some damage , how fast were they going out of the junction !

 

Boot panel just needs a good tug, sbe ok I reckon. Good luck.

 

hope for the best mate, ten year old car depending on milage would not shock me if they tried to write it Off. Feel sorry for you mate you are not having the best of luck

 

Feel for you mate
Just had mine done last week (New bumper and back box)
At least they admitted responsibility, so you shouldn't have to pay anything.
Couldn't believe the bumper when I saw the new one there's nothing to them just a hollow piece of plastic

 

Gutted for you mate, hope they will fix it for you.

 

That looks quite similar to mine. The garage ended up cutting out the rear panel and welded in a new one - cost the insurance co £1000 (about 4 years ago).

I'd check that none of the seams around the rear arches have popped, because the bumper fixings are quite strong, and I'm sure my rear arches have suffered from rust in that area as a result.

 

After nearly 3 weeks driving around in the Chevy beast



I got the car back yesterday, it looks like they have done a good job.

New bumper, boot, inner boot panel, RH STI rear, and blended in right up to the rear screen.

It was very close to being written off, if it had not been a limited edition it would have been a goner the guy at reception said!







Good to have it back

 

very good repair, glad to see it back to what it should look like

 

Top result buddy, Another RB5 is saved!!!
