Someone hit me this time....

[kiwibstokes]

I'm not having much luck with this car, tonight this time a guy drove into the arse of my car, the towbar took most of the impact which proberly saved worse damage but still the damage isn't minimal, bumpers wrecked, boot can't be opened, and dinted and hopefully not much other damage.

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Oh no... seriously Bryan, that's not good karma at all.

Please tell me it's not a hit-and-run and you got the other person's details?

 

[bogan bob]

Yea i hope you got the other persons details. You are having some bad luck with this car, hope it turns around after this

 

[Guest]

how are we going to go with replacement panels etc at this current stage? as im assuming their not really all that readily available?

 

[naughtika]

seems like he only has to replace his bumper.. try calling panel house.. from what I can recall they do have panels for ec5a's they might have them for ec5w as well...

 

[bradc]

that sucks, lucky you have the towbar.

Just so you know, your FACELIFT LEGNUM VR-4 front bumper is different to non facelifts, and all galants and all non-vr-4's, so make sure you tell the panel shop that!

 

[kiwibstokes]

Yea not a hit run, got all the details, just gotta go get some quotes done, anyone know a good panel shop in Melbourne by any chance?

 

[Fred]

im not starting any kind of following i hope...

 

[snickells]

Oh my god man, what car related deity did you piss off to get all this bad luck? Did you at least get the front bar fixed yet or is that still a work in progress?

 

[kiwibstokes]

Got the front bar fixed while it was in the shop as well, looks great now also got the bonnet repainted

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Any recommendations on the place? Was wondering how it'd end up.

 

[kiwibstokes]

Used a company at highpoint / maribyrnong, they did pretty good with the job took a while but thats they way it goes

Ouch! Sorry to see your car cop a hit. Thank god for the tow bar. Could've been a lot worse off if it wasn't there.
Hope the repairs are done asap. And seeing as you're not at fault, you'll be able to get a free courtesy car as well for the inconvenience to you and the other person's insurance will have to pay.

 

[kiwibstokes]

This happened over a month ago now, so got it back and is now all repaired, but didn't get a courtesy car insurance said i could hire one at own cost and then claim after all done but with no guarantee of getting the money back.

Didn't matter anyway because boss lost his licence and i've got his dodge ram for the next 6 months, 6L of turbo desiel power.. mmm...

 

[dimi_108]

My bad bryan. I thought it was recent
Good to see it all fixed up now.

You gonna keep that tow bar on?

 

[kiwibstokes]

It's a good idea if someone hits me again, but i only use if in summer to tow the jetski so prob have it off for the mean time

Hi Byan,

Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago, little bit more damage on mine. Tow bar is good for small impacts, not good for large ones, can bend the rear part of the car in big hits as it can't crumple.

Good to hear she's back together. Where did you get the EVO bonnet from?

 

[kiwibstokes]

Car came with the evo style bonnet and front bar
