Gutted ...I always knew you said the Scoob was invisibile...but that's taking it a bit far!

mart360

I know... its pissed me of a treat...

depending on what other damage may have occured, its not looking too good..

i,m rekoning on for basic bumper & support its £350 then theres remove old one spray new one and refit..

i reckon a further 3-500 there

factor in any probs underneath eeek



i hope its just a simple fix



as you say the height of invisiblity

Hi Mart,

Sorry to hear that. Just goes to show how good your stealth technology is

Remember I posted about that heat shield, think you send me a message saying you had haynes manual pics or similar, haven't received them yet, just wondering if you sent them or not?

If not please send to my e-mail address as per my profile. thanks.

Mart360 - same thing happened to me about 18 months ago.

Got some good news for you - most of my damage was the bootlid and hangers but insurance replaced the bumper anyhow. I have the original (actually came from my 98 Type R) with very minor damage if you want it - free if you collect from me in Edenbridge (near Tunbridge Wells) as I am moving to Spain soon.

I know it feels bad now but believe me - you'd rather have that happen than what I'm going through with my Scoob right now...more to follow.

Cheers,


Russ

sorry to hear that Mart. Just a thought but do you think they will repair it if there is a lot of damage? GL's aren't worth an awful lot now
you got any pics of the damage?
hope you get it sorted ok!

I know what you mean....

i rekon it will be a bye bye scoob job

the bumper and bits + paint and labour will be 8-900 ish.. = vat on top

thats without looking to see what damage has occured to the underneath..

the tow bar needs loking at and the mounts checking... & the geometry will need to bechecked also..

factor in the hire car they have supplied ..

mm dont look good.

Mart might be worth scanning auto trader now see if you can find another either that or just upgrade to a turbo you know you wanna!
on a serious note though do you have any idea what a 2.0 gl is worth? cant be a lot

mart360

according to autotrader...

anywhere between 1.5- 2.5k

snot bad but!!!!
