scot-ish Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 just tell him, your gunna need to go to insurance. and for that too happen, you will need to go to the police for a crime reference, that will get his arsehole going. and should get you your payout.oh, and handbrake turns get you careless driving.

Meston Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'd inform the police straight away, he drove without consideration to other road users. Although you 'should' of been able to stop in time if you had kept the correct braking distance. As soon as the police find out then you'll be able to fast-track your insurance claim.Driving without due care and attention is an offence in accordance with Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988Nail his ass, who cares if he'll think your a dick. Dicks fuck assholes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 been thinking about this all night and I've decided im not going to take it through insurance, the damage is very minimal except the front splitter which im gutted about:( the front bumper is fine just some scuffs and the bonnet is slightley bent at the front if i cant get it straigtened out ill just buy a new 1 as for the bumper id like a 98 spec 1 and i could do with some new headlights since 1 of the adjusters are broken. it wont be forgotten about tho ill sort it out my own way, the way i should have yesterday!

bucketep91 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 as i said in my last post ill sort it out "my way" then fix my car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 took some pics o the damage, it really isnt that bad, spoke to the guy who did my bodywork last time he can do it whenever i can drop the car off but i need the car atm as my van blew up lol (dont ask). he says the splitter should be fine and he will just smooth it into the bumper if i want:D was planning to get the bumper tidied up since cutting it for the fmic anyway.i need a new intercooler core as well as mines is feckedexcuse the dirt on the car its not been washed in a few days doesnt look too bad does it?

Idrees Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The intercooler core looks fine, is it leaking? Take it off and turn the core around so the bent fins are at the back, they won't go noticed and the cleaner side of the cooler will be showing too. The bonnet can probably be tapped out without damaging the paint, chances are it'll need a little blow over though as it will probably crack. Depends how good your body work dude is, he might heat the paint and tap it straight.Either way, glad its not too bad. Good luck with the repairs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 it isnt as bad as i thought it would be. the guy is good. its the same dude who done my sill and u remember the state that was in. im not worried about the bonnet. if it wasnt my mrs' bday next week id have put my name down on your cf bonnet gb lol EDIT - the ic core is fucked mate the other side is fucked too, it was a 2nd hand 1 i baught and id already turned it to the clean side lol.i need a new hotside pipe route anyway so ill just buy a full kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ste pointed out the key fact Mates or not I fucking hate it when people agree to get it sorted and then have the the cheek to fuck you over when your not there, two faced wankers I would go kick his and his dads faces in.If they want to play like that I would seek legal advice and go to the police and get him done for handbraking and careless driving etc.Not sure what the insurance would say tbh they are also a waste of space It doesnt look that bad though in all honesty mate but its something which needs to be sorted becuase of someone elses stupidity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 hope your body work guy can hook u up ASAP man!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would be getting him to pay for it mate, if he doesn't tell him you'll report it to the police and go through the insurance, it'll cost him an awful lot more that way.Did you take any pics of the accident??If you have a witness and tell them exactly what happened then it should go in your favour as his damage is to the front of the car. Its not as if you were travelling so close and just went into the back of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 thanks for the advice guys, due to the fact we wer both m8s i didnt want to go to police, tbh i wouldnt go to the police who ever done it. but i have sorted it my own way tonight. i didnt ask for money or go to his insurance company but this is not the place to be talking about what i did!Anyway, the dude whos gonna fix it works from home and i cant drop the car off there because thers like 4 cars in his drive and 2 in his booth (yeah he has a spray booth in his back garden lol) he says to drop the front bumper off and he'll sort that out first then we can set about the rest, im not desperate to get it done im just pissed off a bit because im driving around with a bashed up car. I've also been speaking to a guy about a CF bonnet and we might come to an agreement 2moz, tbh i wanted to sort out my front bumper anyway after cutting it for fmic and the carbon bonnet would be a bonus and who wouldnt like a brand new set of headlights lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
