Can I get more info on your N/A/glanza bumper ? Great build by the way

Thanks, if its the way to do it there is another thread on here that I believe would be easier to do. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/96512-5t4r7et-nas-sportif-turbo/ that's the link for their build thread first post scroll through the pictures you see it. I have had to do mine another way as the person who had done it before had done it a different way and I wanted to do redo it and make stronger. There are little tabs just under the headlights they are different, small on the na and large on the glanza, so you have to go past them with the na part of the bumper or remove the tabs. Now there are many methods to attach the two bumpers I have gone for plastic welding, but you can go fibre glass and few others, research them and select the one you'll find easier or what you think is going to be most effective.

Really hate to post this but unfortunately today on the way to work I was involved in a head on after the other person failed to give way to the right on a roundabout

Chassis bent so insurance is going to write it off

Make sure you get all the bits off.

Got most of them back but the two most expensive ones have got to stay on for inspection

That sucks. See if you can get a quote from a local garage or "mates rates". Insurance companies always go for big garages which would charge an absolute fortune. As long as you get a quote low enough and give that to the insurance company then there's a chance it won't get written off. Either way hope you get it sorted.

The choice of body shop is always yours, insurance companys always try bully you into using there garages but the choice is completely up to you.

[*Pete*]

Didn't know that may have to look into it

[Pete_A]

proper gutted for you

[*Pete*]

Went and picked up another starlet today but can't insure it until this car is evaluated so kinda carless atm which sucks.

You don't hang around long blimey haha what colour is this one?

[Matthewep91v]

Dude feel so bad for you

Good luck with the fix mate

The light blue colour and I need a car to get work but currently can't anything from my insurer until the claim is taken off hold as the car needs inspecting. So can't insure the new one or get a rental from from them. Could get temp cover but it is bloody expensive.

Well that sucks. Surely they should still offer a courtesy car. What are your plans then once they inspect it? Transfer the parts over or repair and rebuild?

[*Pete*]

well see if I can get the car back depending on what they say but failing that going to see if I can get the wheels and suspension back at least. my policy doesn't have courtesy car but I've called them to do see what I can do/get and they may be able to get a hire car and cover the costs of it but waiting to hear back.

[*Pete*]

If I can get the car would anyone want any of parts that I'm not keeping myself so the engine etc?

[adzy]

You should hire a car then submit the cost as an expense of the claim. They should prob be providing you one tbh. We had a bad smash 2 years ago and they had a courtesy car sent out next day.

Accidents suck, starlets aren't worth much but it's the time and effort that you've put into it that you'll never get back

[*Pete*]

Problem is that I'm under 21 so it can be hard but I been told to ring again tomorrow to see if they can insure my new car, yer it is annoying that I'll lose the time I've put in the car and I'll probably still lose money. Way to deal with it is to get it sorted and more on.
