Well, all i can say is it was bound to happen one day, first bump of my driving career, well first one that was my fault, thing is as the car is 5 years old and has 90 odd thousand miles on the clock not sure if it will be a write off. see pics below.

I don't take much to make a dent. Good luck there m8 as long you are ok. ..

ouch bet that hurt

[n_hudson]

New wing, new bumper, new headlight...Doesnt look like any damage to bonnet... Damage underneath bumper? Slam panel? If not you could probably get the parts for £300 or so off Ebay and do it yourself...

[bertbuckie1]

i think she`l repair, looks cosmetic to be honest, let us know least your ok

[mattolly86]

but more that likely youll go through insurance and they'll pay over a grand for parts and same again for labour and paint i just dont see insurance doing it, however if you were to do it it'd cost you under a grand

Short of it is, no matter how often you travel down the same road, or pull out of the same junction, never get complacent.

I was turning left out of a junction onto an a road. checked the car in front of me, she went to pull of at a fair rate of speed ( rear of her car squatted a fair bit) so i thought she had pulled out, looked right to see if it was safe and went to go, then BANG!!!! then "S***" Then on the phone to the insurers!!

Sheer stupidity on my part, and i'll be the first one to admit it!!!


Cheers
