Am = are... welcome to the black country. any way if they do write it off ,i would buy it back as it looks like an easy fix (mainly cosmetics)

If you edged out, how is it you have front end damage without any side impact damage?

I would say if you edged/pulled out onto a road without sufficient observations then you are probably to blame.

Not overly, no.

Don't understand the lack of basic english on this site now.

When you go to bed, do you then say "I are going to bed now"

budweiser28

so would be better if they repair it

I'd have a go at fixing that myself matie rather than going through the insurance, unless they find him to blame of course.

New bonnet, bumper, lights, front panel, rad, bit of paint no problem.

There again can't tell from your pictures if there's any internal damage, inner wings, twisting etc... if thats happen a pro-bodyshop if the only way to go especially if you have little ones in the car. Then the price goes up and it's possible they will write the old girl of.

Make sure you get salvage retention if and when they do write it off, breaking an impreza will make you a pretty penny.

My brother kept his Impreza for £1000 salvage retention, and in the end he made £5500 from all the bits. It did have 2.5 bottom end and 6 speed gaer box etc though to help it along.

I would say they'll write it off. Its modified so I hope you told them or they are unlikely to pay out if they decide in your favour.

Buy it back and spend the winter on here asking questions and in your garage putting it back together.

Good luck and don't worry about the grammer and spelling merchants.

blu scoob

wat was that I never heard u

budweiser28

its taken the pass wing but still starts and drives
just pushed it back into the aircon rad
not really clued up on this sort of thing so wouldnt like to say
the only other mods are sti brakes,apexi power fc with commander and other little bits
just got to wait and see what the insurance say really
more than likely they will write it off

blu scoob

if you havnt told them about the mods you better start swopin the bits round off the other one outside before they come to see it

budweiser28

havent got another one to swop the parts with lol
thats my mates in the background

blu scoob

thats what mates are for tell him

EddScott

Do it anyway or they will turn you down if you haven't told them.

budweiser28

dont think he would be very happy if i took half of his parts off his car

blu scoob

you wont be if they dont pay you out if you dont take them off

satancom

I had a bump in my car before (twas a £350 shed) but the damage was very similar. after 9 months of battling the claim went my way cos the guy who hit me was driving like a complete plank wrong way through a loadingbay as a shortcut.. I had no hope. Yes i did pull out infront of him but was doing about 5mph and stopped when i saw him.. he slid str8 into my car and then off past me.. musta been doing about 45 - 50 mph..

Not pleasent!

blu scoob

It wont be pleasant if they void his insurance

budweiser28

thats the same sort of thing mate he was in a £100 rover and was doing well over 40mph
as i nudged out he came from now where locked his front end up and skidded staright in front of me
a van who saw the accident was a witness and said he was speeding

budweiser28

nothing i can do about it mate
if they do they do
thats just life im afraid
i cant do anything else
just wait and see what happens

blu scoob

nothin wrong with rovers ive got one

EddScott

If you've got a witness saying the other guy was speeding your insurer might well find in your favour. A witness is like the the "hand of god" in insurance claims and can usually sway a decision very quickly.

You have no chance if the assesor (sp) turns up and see the PFC and all the other bits and bobs (even the 4 pots on the front is technically a mod). They just won't pay out.

Better to swap the bits and then swap them back after. If it means the difference between FA and 4 or 5 grand pay your mate a couple of hundred for his trouble.

The brakes, wheels, rear spoiler, front spoiler, PFC are all mods and all very likely to void your insurance.

Sideways

At least you could upgrade the front now to MY00 spec, let be positive.
Hope you get this sorted out mate.
