Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 As some of you may have seen, I posted about an accident where some silly girl drove into my Supra last week. It's just been picked up to go to repairers so I thought I'd show you guys pics of the damage. You know, as a warning to treat all other road users like idiots - because clearly a lot of them are.

Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yep, naively I'm hoping that the approved repairers will do a good job. Bit worried about how they'll give it back with matching headlights as a brand new replacement will look totally different to the old j-spec one on the drivers side. May have a word with them about that. Felt like having a go at the girl, but held back in case she used it against me. She really believed it wasn't her fault despite not looking and pulling out of a side road into the front corner of my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Bet you can't wait for it to return Drove it onto the recovery truck and just wanted to keep driving! Plus side is I got a people carrier hire car, which is no good for credibility but I've just moved house so am hauling half of Ikea around in it!

Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hell yeah, got to find the positives. The front had a few stonechips anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Crossed my mind. But then I'd have to add skirts and rear bumper and I'm brasic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 See if you can get some UK headlights rather, speak nicely to them and perhaps offer to chip in the extra cash (although I'm not sure what the price difference is).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes some sense. Wanted to upgrade anyway. I'll give them a shout before they start the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well, at the end of the day, the day will look very odd with one new jspec light and one old... And you could probably argue that car looks off because of it... Insisting that they replace both, and if they are going to replace, perhaps have a word with someone like Steve Manley, and if you provide the UK lights at a good price the insurance company may be happy with it.

Millsy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Definitely would look strange. I'll make that point to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
