chilli Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 doesn't look too bad, can def be fixed that is for sure. As for it being a write off, all depends on how much the car is worth to replace, is it a TT in good condition? If so there is no way it would be a write off imho, even an N/A I'd still think it would be economical to fix, if it is then def try and buy it back. The only thing I'd be concerned about is getting that inner wing fixed up properly (straightening to remove the crease) - but a good bodyshop should be able to put it straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Good that there was not TOO much damage; and there is always an upside - you can make your car even BETTER than it was before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 It looks like the slam panel may have gone back a bit, as the rad clamp is sitting high above the rad in the picture! These are £80 from toyota. Your bumper support is obviously had it, and is about £40 from toyota. I wish my car had been that easy to repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hope it all goes ok for you, should be repairable ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hope you sort it soon bud, I was dreading the pics at first from the thread title but as many have said, I reckon it will be repairable. It could of been alot worse though! Take it easy, Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 sorry to see another supras had a bump but I'm sure its fixable. Chin up Dan. You'll be up and running in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 That doesn't look too bad. They always look a lot worse with all the smashed bits still attached. The inner wing will probably need pulling a bit, but I'd be very surprised if its a right off. Let me also say, for admitting it was your fault. We all cock up from time to time but these days it makes a refreshing change to meet someone who's go the balls to admit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 thankyou all for the kind words, it makes a big difference to speak to people who love their cars aswell, really was gutted yesterday, feeling much more positive now, hopefully it will be back, bigger, stronger, faster just got to run around in my ibiza now, wonder if it will run for more than a week without going wrong?

SupraAyf Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Dan mate, I'm sure that they'll be literally hundreds of items lying around in members garages that can be used to get your Supe back to full fitness again. Get one of the boys to do a quick list of parts needed and then stick it on the forum - I'm sure the bits will flood in before you know it! Feel for you bud, but the boys are right; its far worse than what it looks Regards mate, Andrew:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I actually wouldnt be that surprised if the insurance do right it off. Almost any damage on a car of this age and value they normally right off. Still thats an easy fix for sure. You could get most of the parts second hand and fix it really cheap. I guess the biggest part of the insurance claim will be the other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's a lovely car, I remember drooling over it when I saw it in the flesh, hope you get it fixed and up and running again. Things always look bad before they get better. Chin up mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the biggest part of the insurance claim will be the other cars. well it still needs pulling so it's a professional job, still it can all be fixed. the main thing is how much is the car worth. It might cost 2-3k to fix from a proper bodyshop, this might be marginal (but still probably ok) on an NA and no problems on a decent TT what model is your car dan and how much would you say it was worth?
