Sorry guys can't reply to everyone as I'm not in the right frame of mind atm but thank you all for your messages which are much appreciated 

I'm okay but not feeling great. no one else was in my car thankfully no family or my baby boy  wasn't even driving fast but the impact was hard.

Car doens't look too bad although there's a lot of damage to external and suspension not being right on both sides car drives wobbly now.

both wheel have taken a hit left hand side cuebed to death with alloy chunks missing off it and shame this site wasn't as easy as instagram or I would have uploaded the pictures.
front panel is cracked same with headlight broken knocking from left and bearing noise from right wing bumper splitter damaged. guessing ball joint knocking from left track rod end damage as wheels arent striaght. right hub knuckle most probably bent due to the impact. metal panel behind headlight looks attached to the inner chassis has pushed back and whatever the damaze behind the bumper.

Happened in london and got a witness who says it was the other guys fault as he pulled out behind a van.

Yes the third party pulled of a blind spot behind a van which pisses me off more and then claims it was an accident 

his insurance called me within the hour apologising for the accident and take full responsibility offering a hire car etc and repairs done with 5 years guarantee which is boll****  but I'm not going to go through these fu*** as I was had last time and the repair was half baked on a previous car so this time I'm going claims company who better get all the damages listed inc suspension joints bearing new front wheels etc

Sorry to here and hope you get it sorted.
Would be interested to hear how you get on with the claims company.

[r5gtt]

Cheers Lewo I hope I get all my money back or full damages to my car.

They also asked me the value ofy car and I told them I paid 6850 last year January and was asked if I had reciept as I do but doubt they'd pay out that for it?.

[Shoduchi]

Sorry to know about this misfortune and hope that you recover quickly! Also hope you can sort this with the insurance as best as possible.

Gutted for you mate 
Just gutted 
Thank god you weren't hurt
Pleased to hear his insurance company rang you and accepted responsibility though. That sounds encouraging. You can get an independent insurance assessor to assess your cars value if they play silly buggers. I've done that in the past to good effect. Cost me €400 but was money well spent. You have plenty of evidence on your build thread here of the investment you've made in the car.

Either way it's a ballache. And as said. Gutted for you

[r5gtt]

Thanks guys I really appreciate and value your messages
I'm just very upset that I have to go through the headache of filling out forms describing what happened and having my car de vaued because of the market value as I know what it's worth to me.

First thing find a good claims solicitor to handle the claim.

[lukemk5gti]

Very sorry to hear it buddy.

I hope all mods are declared and that the process goes smoothly for you!

Hopefully you might even stand to gain from this.

You're well versed in stripping the car so if I were you I'd remove all aftermarket bits yourself and save what's salvageable. Maybe write off the car and get your few grand. Buy and edition 30 and retrofit your additional bits.

Could be a blessing in disguise!

Not good dude :-(


Regarding the insurance I would be very careful going through a claims management company. If at any point later down the line, blame is contested and the 3rd party then says "no, it wasn't my fault" you can be liable for all the hire car charges (which are extortionately priced by the way).

[bonelorry]

Sorry to hear this :(

Hope you and everyone else involved are OK!

Keep us posted on how you get on 

[Paradox1]

Risky business like a said to you yesterday. If you got through his insurance for the repairs can you refuse to have it taken to a particular repair shop if you had bad experience with them previously?

[r5gtt]

thsnks @bonelorry

@Paradox1 I'm never going through an insurance company again as they screwed me over the last time and even the insurance ombudsman was on their side the barstuards stressed me out full on with depression.

I'm going to find a claim company who will sort this out and get my car fully repaired correctly or I want a full settlement of what I paid regardless of what the market value is as I have reciepts for everything.
