Last night at 6.20, a young lady in a Ford KA decided to pull out on me at a T-junction and so straight into the front side of her i went BANG. The damage to my car is:
Front bumper
Both wings
driving light
both headlights
Bonnet (aluminium)
Radiator
Air-con rad
air-con pipe horn
Bumper bracket
Possible front panel?
Steering feels a bit weird
All this damage to my bugeye STI JDM


Her little KA only had bumper, wing, and suspension damage as it could'nt be driven properly. I was pi**ed off anyway when her mom jumped out screaming and balling at me saying that she only passed her test two weeks ago (pretty obvious) and it was my fault????? Luckily i had a couple of witnesses. But with all the damage to mine how do i stand with the insurance as they seem to wright cars off at the drop of a hat nowadays and i don't want that.

Get your own independent assessment done, do you know anyone who works in a body shop.
Also, research the book price of your car as anything they offer you (if written off) will be be below book.
Did you have any personal injury? Sore neck maybe? Get in touch with your insurer

Can i choose my own repairer or do i have to use my insurances one's

you can choose your own but repairs can take longer and depending on your company they could be funny re replacement car as not their allocated repairer-get quotes off several subaru garages and even independents eg scoobyclinic seems to get good reports and cgarge cheaper labour than official subaru garages,sounds like £2-4,000 depending on what else they find on inspection

As the front bumper was hanging off, i have removed it and the panel behind the bumper(one the bumper is fixed too) is damaged and the slam panel for the bonnet is damaged as well. I'm really pi**ed off especially as i had the wife and kids in the car. Does anyone have a rough idea what these parts cost for an 2002 STI?

p1doc

unfortunately you will not know how mucg damage /costs etc until it is inspected if lucky just what you see if unlucky suspension/engine damage

Well it's gone into the repairers (subaru specialists) and i have had a decent loan car given tome by Helphire and as it was the girls fault i don't have to claim off my insurance (i'm fully comp) just straight off hers, no excess to pay and no claims against me. They were superb in there response and very proffesional, i would reccomend them no bother at all.

skoosh
