Forced off the road by an on coming 4x4!!

[Vinny_VSX]

Earlier on this week I was faced with the decision of either having a head on crash with a Toyota 4x4 of some description or chancing my luck of going up a bank. Well of course I chose the latter, but it isn't as simple as that. There was a tree which my car ploughed into.

I now need a new passenger wing for a 1998 flat arched Citroen Saxo in metallic green. Ebay has not come up with anything other than VT* wings and wings that would need to be resprayed to match my colour. What I am wondering is if anyone knows of any wings for sale that are metallic green and for a flat arched saxo please?

Oh and my local scrap yards have nothing :n:

Thanks

Not bad that all you need is a wing from "ploughing" into a tree ;)

Was it a Bonsai?

Well "ploughing" was maybe too strong of a word. I was doing roughly 25/30mph (didn't look down, so not too sure) upon impact with the tree. I have checked the chassis legs etc and they are all perfectly fine, however the wing is not so healthy :(

Get any colour wing and get it aprayed to the right colour as will be slightly off in most cases with a panel from another car

Knock most of it out with a piece of wood until you get a new one. What I did :)

That is what I am worried about, hence why I am primarily looking for a wing of the same colour. If I cannot find one, would the colour match be ok if the wing was to be a pattent part and then have it sprayed by a bodyshop? The car hasn't faded in any parts and in general good nic for a 12 year old car

[adamm]

bodyshop would get it near enough id imagine mate. was the 4x4 overtaking?

No the absolute cocktard was on my side of the road mid corner, of which is really quite sharp so I couldn't see him coming until I was just about to enter the corner myself. My arse was going like a rabbits nose. In the 4 1/2 years of driving I have never come close to anything like this and it shook me up for a good hour after. The 4x4 was a Toyota Land Cruiser, so that would have just driven over my saxo no doubt and on my side of the car too. Seriously sketchy stuff!!

Thanks pal :D. My parents went nuts and blamed me, until I drew them a picture of what actually happened lol. Crazy!!

The hardest part is going to be finding a new wing. I really never thought it would be this hard to find one in the same colour :n:

[TomBob]

That's shocking tbh. Did you get the reg number?

How the fuck is a RTC anything to do with your parents.

That pisses me off. Fucking parents. If they paid for it, I can see they might have a leg to stand on, albeit a very unstable prosthetic leg. People crash, and when it isn't your fault it's fucking outrageous, last thing you need when you're shook up after a crash is parents blaming you.. for something that isn't your fault.

Land Cruiser FTW.

Mint trucks they are
