Havard Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yes it was wet after a longish period of dry weather and the way it lost grip it could of been oil as well Roads are at the worst in those conditions. Anything oil based on the surface rises during the first rain after. I binned my Cavalier in similar conditions 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbt Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks again for everyone's best wishes and offers of help, it's much appreciated. Just an update insurer has been really helpful and have agreed a starting point value of 12k so have approx 8k to repair damage after deducting salvage value. Also they are replacing all 4wheels as we won't be able to replace the damaged one. Car is in transit to Baldy's who will be handling the repair and giving some much needed TLC. Chris will probably be putting a thread up later about rims and offsets as I have already requested an arch roll whilst it's there-I need more rubber on the rear.

As in roll the lip or with a pull aswell. If your having the arches sprayed then I would look at getting them pulled as this means you can get a little more Rim under your arches and are more likely to find off the shelf wheels that will fit under the arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
