Are your mods insured, I cant see the pic coz I am at work but as long as she has claimed responsibility it aint that bad. WOnt affect you at least.

thats shit, apparently they are making the over 65's resit there tests or something???

anyway mate........its not lookuin too good, id say write-off smileys/smiley13.gif

[JamieB]

that looks pretty bad!!!

is your engine and wheels all alright? to me, it just looks like cosmetic damage so i personally wouldnt have thought it was a write off, but it all depends how much it costs to get it repaired.

glad to hear you are all alright though

Looks like a standard VTR grant

Well look's simliar to my friends when someone smahed into the front of his saxo, His dident get written of but then again it was only one side of the front what was damaged heavilly. Looking at yours it's both sides. All i can say is good luck man, Glad you are ok though.

hey thoms04

the same thing happened to me some old wonen cut across me at a junction and hit me!!!!
pretty much had the same damage as yours!!!
and it wasnt a write off!!!
ive got a phase 1 vts!!! 'T' reg
cost a £1000 to repair!!
if shes admitted responsibilty then if u had any mods damaged u could claim for them aswell!!!
i did!!!!!!!

thats got to be a write off, look at the front its completely mangled and twisted right over

[vts165]

break it and sell it for bits!!

otherwise ull struggle 2 sell it as its an insurance write off!!
also if u repair it ull ave to take it to the dvla mot centre to get a proper chech over and mot!!
and its not cheap!!

graham

[vts165]

oh and insurance companys will kno its been written off so ull find it hard to get insured!!

Imo, i would take the money & sell the car as a whole in the current condition & possibly look at buying this car (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22917&PN=1)

[VTaaRon]

i agree oz's car is hot and for how much youre getting from the insurance any money from selling the car can go in the bank

[saxobaby]

I disagree, no way is it a write off, one of my VTR's had MUCH worse damage and cost me all in all £900 and I got a full respray and she was good as new, providing the airbag didnt go off, its an easy repair, depends on how much your insurance company pays out, which ever works out in your favour.

[Yates]

i wouldnt want a front end car fixed up again after it being that bad, you can see how bad it is now, what happens if its in a crash again?

does the engine still run ok?

the whole front end of the car has moved over to the drivers side, i wouldnt want it back after that

[saxx]

mine only just made it through for repair and mine still resembled a car!

[saxobaby]

Well if its just cosmetic what difference does it make, if the engine is un damaged so what if you have new bodywork, its the same as when you modify the bodywork

[Yates]

its a bit more than cosmetic tho, you can see the radiator has been pushed right across, take a bit to straighten that back out

[Sean]

all depends if the chassis legs have been bent. if they have it's easy enough to have them straightened out on a jig, but i'd still feel safer in a car that hadn't had this done.

[Dan]

Id take the money and sell it for parts. smileys/smiley2.gif
