Matt H Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My car has been collected today to go up to Hyper Sports in Wigan for the transplant work. My mum turned up at the house to hand over the keys and the recovery guy has wrecked the rear end of the car to the point that the Veilside over fender has been broken in two. Its been badly scratched, but thats not an issue for me but i was hopeing to re-use the rears bits of my car in the transplant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 It never rains does it. Perhaps if you explain to the recovery company what you had planned and now they have damaged the car more they will compinsate you. I doubt it but its worth a try.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Check with both Hyper and the transport company, they should have liability insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Why do people trust their mums with such responsibility? That other guy Jezz was sorting out did the same. If it were me I'd have been stood there filming it whilst telling the guy it was coming out of his pocket if he makes any marks. Protection for both you AND the people doing the work from numpty transporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT5500 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 If hyper organised the pick up then its their responsibilityto claim from the recover company I would think. Just like if, say a dvd is returned for repair under warranty and the repair centre organize the collection it is their problem if the dvd player never turns up.

Guest Nicholas Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Was it a low loader or a normal car transporter? Andy Hannah collected my car from London and I was well over the top when the guy loaded it on to low loader, took him an hour to load it up but not a single mark don;t think he liked me too much though.

So If you cant trust you own mother who can you trust? lol, sorry Pete, some of us have jobs to do, and my mother handing over the keys to the guy was her responsibility, cant see what harm that is? what i didnt ask her to do was winch the car up Suppose i would make a better job of filming it than her, but i still would trust her filming it, not that i would. I think the phrase living in the real world works here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I wouldn't trust my mum with my car. In fact, there's not many people I would trust with it (see sig) I guess I'm lucky in that I can get home in 15 mins anytime I want to in the day and forget other people aren't as fortunate.

Matt H Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Want to check the damage is first, if its as bad as my mum said then i wont be able to re-use my over fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HyperSports Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Matt I'm not taking sides with the Transport guy at all, but realistically the car needed a Fork Lift truck to be transported about. There is very little left of the exterior that can be re-used, including skirts, rear wing and all the overfenders TBH. We have already have had to cut the wings off and the front cross members just to manoeveure the car about. It's worth bobbing down when you can to see the totallity of the damage now the front bits are taken away. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
