Craig855S Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 What happened?Travelling down a main road approaching a junction at 30-35 the lights ahead turned green and a taxi was pulling away,after breaking down to his speed i laid off the throttle and matched his speed,road began going uphill and the sun came into my eyes,just then the taxi slowed right down to a roll (something happened in the junction forcing a stop) and i flew into the back of the taxi,slammed on as i saw the gap closing thru the sun but it was too late,pics dont do it justice. The slam panel had a huge kink in it and radiator was crushed into the exhaust manifold,deinate write off,but i got 3k for it. All this happened last yea only just got pic onto computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 and also,my mods WERE insured,altho they thought that the kit,wheels,suspension,tints,seats,and other bits were only worth 2k,the fuckers. They offered me a grand at first (book figure on a P 1.4 at the time) but i argued the point that mods were declared and insured (i made a point o insuring that every mod would be replaced like for like) so they gave me 2k for the mods,and i bought the car back for 115 quid!! woohoooo made hundreds from selling the parts (seats,spoiler,streetfighter rear,tinted glass) and got my Si a set of wheels and lexus's from that. So all in all i pretty much got ALL my money back from doing that car up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 what was chappers's worth. 1700 is a good price for a 5b with skirts,spats and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 and £3k worth of custom paint thanks very much. Doesn't matter now, my dad accepted the cheque so there's nothing i can do. Tbh, yours was a little bit more written off than mine was, i could probably fix mine now for about £150, it seems it's the bumper that's jamming the boot rather than the back panel.

Craig855S Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 3k worth of paint, but was it insured??? Shudda fought for the money so u could replace it and paint it BLOOOO. Whats the deal with driving a written off car? insurance? V5? any record of it being a spanked up car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
