For the third time in six months, the front end of my car needs work on it

First it was a Transit Connect reversing into the 'teg

Then a Honda Jazz did the same to the Elise two weeks after I got it

Now on the way home from tonight's meet whilst doing 70 on the '62 . . a low flying road sign or piece of metal, decides it wants to re arrange the front end

Result is one bit of fibreglass missing, and a fair few scratches . . does'nt look like its cracked the front end anywhere tho



So I'll be off to Altons in the morning for a quote . . . I must be due discount from them by now

Dave ( corradoboy) cheers for pulling up on the hard shoulder to check everything was ok

 

Doesn't look too bad, mine's worse After hitting you the said article bounced off my car In the dark under the driveway floods I've spotted a dent and scuff in the leading edge of the bonnet, and scuffs to the bumper, front wing and mirror The dent is quite a soft one so I hope will push out easily, and the scuffs are having nothing more than ScratchX for now I'll have to get someone to crash into me again to get them to pay the repair bill like last time

 

Theres a fair few more scuffs on the lower part of the front end . . . really hoping its not cracked the front clam, as the last repair for that was £600 Hope you manage to get the scuffs polished out on yours

 

I nearly followed you !

Sorry to hear the crappy news Si ! ( and Dave ! )

DunxC

 

bad luck guys...

bloody weather, its trashing evertyhing

glad you are both ok though

 

But Pob what adout bingo

No seriously guys, thats bad luck, hope its not so bad.

 

sorry to hear that u both had damage on the way home,hope u both get it sorted......

 

Just been to Alton's for a quote. . . . £250 + vat

 

Will Grant be able to fix it????

 

Here's how mine faired

Front showing dent to bonnet leading edge, 3 slats missuing from my grille (had to check they hadn't gone into the intake duct), various scuffs and a chip off the fog surround, and my 'vRS' badge gone...



...the dent...



...and some of the scuffs down the side...





I think the scuffs will buff out, the chip I'll do with touch-up, try and get a 2nd-hand grille and the dent can wait for spring

 

let me take it out for 1/2 hour, without a doubt i would right it off
