well it finally came tonight i crashed the punto :(

was goign along a country road as it was getting dark when there was a car ahead of me which i thought was moving in the same direction as me as there was no brake lights and i couldn't see if it was indicating.

well i realized too late it was stationary and slammed on the brakes, wheels locked up and becuse there wa s acar passing i couldnt drive round it so had to wait for an opening to get past but cos i hadent stopped i had to jump through the space which i just got through but clipped her back bumper in doing so which pushed the whole passenger side of my car in :(

i was shaking

police came took statements luckily no one was injured so wasn't a police matter just insurance. but im gutted as i only have 3rd part fire and theft on the punto the now :(

im so gutted

the car drives fine as i drove it home but will need new front wing new door new mirror new quarterpanel from wat i see as its all body damage

hopefully not a right off thou


ill get some pics up tomoz when it is light
 
Aww petal thats sad :( ...as long as you're ok though...i know thats no conciliation but you can sort it no doubt.

Chin up sweetie!!!

Edit * Consolation - my spellings getting bad!!! :shock:
 
ok just got some pics and had a look around the car, it looks bad but i was lucky and i checked everything and it looks like its just the panels that will need replacing as wheels etc are all fine and car drives fine.

do u think thats a right off?

i can see it being repaired wat uz think?
 
OOh, that's nasty.

Gutted for you, hopefully everything will be sorted out and you will keep it.
 
sorry to hear about the hgt

it doesent look like a write off hope it all goes ok for you

make sure you havent bent anything at the front passenger wheel.
 
Ouch man, looks a pretty bad crash.

As you are only TPFT then I don't think the car will be written off, they wont even look at your car - simply repair the other car.
As long as everything is still structurally sound then it should be ok, hitting something at 60-70 mph may have caused more damage than is visible to the naked eye. If you can source the parts second hand and the rear panel doesn't need replaced then it shouldn't cost that much - painting it all is going to cost a bit even on top of the parts costs.

yea well the insurance have been told, i have sourced a company on ebay breaking a mk2 hgt in sprint blue

so could be promising in saving me alot of money

i never actually hit her at 60-70 mph thats wat i was doing before i breaked i would say around 40 mph roughly.
 
Sorry to hear about your incident. Glad your okay. Your not having much luck lately.
 
well mate good news for you anyway my brava had worse damage than that when the car hit mine from the side and had quarter panel damage my 2 doors cost me £60 from a scrappy then the wing was £40 and then painting the side of the car was £250 and the quarter panel damage i had was a lot more than that and cost me £50 so all in all it only cost me £400 to repair the side of my car so i wouldnt think it would be to expensive to fix and actually youd be able to do the door and wing your self to save even more money
 
Shitting hell mate, that's not good. The same thing almost happened to me a few years back but I had the room to overtake. Good luck with it all!!
 
thanks guys had a look at it in more detail today and took some brake cleaner and rubbed all the shite off to see all the damage and the paint held up pretty well

once i get a new door and front wing on it will be drivable again :D

Sorry to hear that,never good to hear of anyone smashing :( but as darren said i dont think it will be that mutch and looks a fairly strait farward repair,hope you get done swiftly and without to mutch hassel :)

As i have told myself after smashing,and friends,if you were able to walk away from it ,then look on that as the bright side,
It could have been mutch worse.

Cheers Scotty
