Thats terrible what happened to your car, I would be proper pissed off !
Hopefully you get it sorted ok !
gutted for you lew fella , just when you have got the engine for it aswell
its a ****ter when you cant use insurance as they will write it off so you have to pay yourselves
will prob be better having a new quarter there aswell mate
i didnt take the car to halfords, i was in the middle of taking the engine out, i walked up there, got back didnt notice it, undone one of the shafts and there it was!
what would you lot do now then? my mum said go to the cops and sort it out then you ring your insurance company so they sort it out with the other persons insurance or sumin.
or should i just leave it and not involv insurance, police etc.
the car had only just started to look good aswell! thinking, yer i'll have a beast when the engine goes in but no not now!

because its not your fault claim of the persons insurance company that did it, your insurance company should do it for you if you have legal aid or something. you may receive money instead of getting your car fixed. thats what happened to me anyway.
on a good note the stickers look cool.
thats fecking shocking!
Did the car park have CCTV?
Bet it was some FUF reversing and looking over their shoulder whilst doing so didnt see your rear and nearsided it!
I'd take a paint scraping and send it to the csi boyz.
or just takje a drive about local body shops and see if anyones bought in a car with similar damage and a red scrape paint transfer on it!
Hmm.... I'd say you may find they'll try and write it off if you go via insurance. Although the wing looks like its repairable, the cost of that, plus bumper, plus mounts, plus paint, plus labour could be a bit too much. In "insurance quote" prices btw.
Your not insured on a car park are you?
I thought insurance only covered you on the road?
Sorry to hear that Lew, car was looking great too :(
Edit-Just noticed it happened at home, and not on Halfords car park.

lol yer it happened at home.
and seymour, yes the stickers do llok good, they go with me wheels.
i still done know what to do, i dont want to go to the police and go through insurance and find out there going to write it off, i can get it fixed free well in my dads time and at cost of paint and meterials, but i still want money from them atleast to pay my dad
unlucky buddy, you must be absolutely gutted !!
if you took it to a bodyshop for an insurance quote theyd charge around 1000 - 1300, i was qouted 900 for just a rear 3/4

body shops often over price the work to discourage you from leaving it with them as most are lazy ****ers. Doing rear arches can be quite frustrating.

and if the insurance company does pay theyve ramped the charges right up - 1 guy even told me to get the insurance company to write the vehicle off and bring it back to him and he'll do it for 400
F you lol
Yeah i remeber you saying on MSN about your DAF van! My bad lol lol

i think your insured in a car park if your parked correctly in a parking bay.
if your just randomly parked ,e.g stopped while talkin to your mates then insurance don't have to/won't pay out.
dont know how much truth there is towards this, just what iv'e always been led to believe.
back on topic, if the insurance do want to wite it off, take the money (but argue for a decent price) then buy the car back off them, hopefully for peanuts. any extra cash can be used for fixing it.

That was the insurers scrap price before they crushed it like. when you scrap a car around by me, you get ?10! Wahooooo :wtf:
just contact the company (who own the van!) direct, tell them the reg of the van, what has happened and explain that you'd rather not go through thr insurance and that you'd like to come to some kind of "arrangement"

Beat me to it. its worth a try because the worst they can say is no. or even if they do give you a bit of money its better than leaving it and having nothing.
yer im going to ring them in the morning i think then. and see what they say (the company)
i really dont want to go through insurance, if interlink express dont come to an arrangement with me, im just going to leave it and sort it myself, get my dad to do it, but i want him to do it what ever the out come.
