What really pisses me off is that the other driver was a polish female. This is gonna be oh so fun! Grrrrrrrrrrrr

No offence dude but that surely is irrelevant?

Good luck with getting quotes for work; you may have to fight a battle to not get the car declared a write-off?

Shit news about the car Jon...fooking Polski split arse

At least you got your lambda sensor mate...

Isn't irrelevant matey. We have lots of problems round here with them not having the correct insurance/licence etc or just generally thinking it's ok to be pissed behind the wheel. I may not claim on my insurance if it can be fixed to save my no claims.

I hate them mate. Every single one. Seem to think they're entitled to everything a UK resident is when they bugger off back home every 6 months so they can claim the tax they've paid back!

Hope I still have a use for the lambda mate. Only time will tell.

Alright jon, just found your thread again! this accident wasnt in the G was it?

will.

afraid so.

Got some contact details from a mate of a reasonable bodyshop so gotta send them some pics and see what they say.

Ah mate thats well shit! Got any pics of the damage?

one small crease top left and the swage line needs putting back in but I'm hoping its fixable

That should push out surely mate?

Obviously wont be perfect after but I'm sure its fixible, Maybe even DIY?

course its fixable , just take inner card out and get you are foot in and pop it out ,it will look better than it was

Its not too bad mate, I was expecting worse...

How's it running now?

Tbh, i dont want it bodge fixed. I was quite proud that the bodywork was in good condition and enjoyed taking it to shows so would rather it looking as good as possible.

Its running okish at the mo. Still needs a remap and afew other lil bits like a adjustable fuel pressure regulator but it'll get there.

Had a quote through from someone a mate recommended - £475 + VAT!!! Tbh, i think thats abit steep so I'm gonna go and haggle at afew places.

Anyway... I've had enough of this place finally. Not enough of a fan of mk4s to appreciate it so if you're really interested in progress, theres a thread over on Polo3.

If you're not, Go fuck yourselves.

ta tar.
