Graham1984 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Harsh mate, it doesn't look too bad and at least you are still alive to tell the tale. Could of been a hell of a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sorry to see mate However, this is why I don't drive mine in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Looks nasty. Not the best weather to be traveling in a supra. Glad you are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakey Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) However, this is why I don't drive mine in the snow. I know mate, its a daily drive so doesn't get the choice unfortunately . Project time I guess - Anyone got a red front bumper ? Edited March 23, 2013 by Sakey (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Dave, it doesn't look that bad, is it realistically fixable? As from the pics I say you only need a new bumper, new front support bar (not the crash bar lol), and headlight so not too bad? ... oh and a number plate Get Martin on the job and you'll be sorted Edited March 23, 2013 by Littler (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Ouch. All that matters is that you are ok. As Adam says though, looks fixable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnet and wing is pushed in/up and active spoiler under tray is smashed (lips still good and goes up and down) . About the same amount of damage as last time I binned it really (same place too!) Chassis legs look fine too. Will have a proper look tomorrow and see if its worth the repair again.... just get back on the horse I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakey Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Update : Had the front bumper off. The damage isn't too bad I guess for the size of the accident. Having some bits left over from last time I smashed that side has helped too. I think the following parts need replacing :- Bumper Bonnet Indicator/ Loom Light Small Bracket connected to the chassis cross member (where the light screws into, near the radiator) Large Light under bracket base thing that connects both wings Wing - Got Light - Got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
