Homer Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Lost it big time exiting a roundabout this evening after taking Leeky for a demo Gave it waaay to much correction while it was sliding over a camber change in the road and managed to bounce off of a curb and couple of crash barriers. Before I try and find a body shop, just wanted to know if you guys think this looks bad I believe its just a new front wing, bumper and light and the rear panel putting back into shape... oh and a new set of wheels!

Bobbeh Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'll take a guess at £1000-1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Oh no! I hope you (and any passengers) are ok?? Looks a bit messy but not the end of the world from what I can see. Of course I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal, cheers no injuries at all, must say they do crash very well! Leeky did look a bit white afterwards - sorry dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 ah mate sorry to hear about ur supra, nice looking car form what i could see on the pics, but yea i guess all the body work wud cost around £1500 thats including the new lights, but those wheel look like they might cost a further £1000 at least, hopefully it all wont cost so much but just giving my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Ah dude, no way:eek: At least your both alright. And that's damn impessive with the wheel. Hope it doesn't cost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Ouch It depends if you fix it with new or used parts I guess. Front Bumper £432.06 Front Wing £157.11 Headlight £120 (I can't tell if it's damaged, hopefully not) (plus VAT) Mine was more of a mess than that at the front and it came up a treat.... think of it as an opportunity to get the stonechips touched up and it softens the blow a tiny bit.

Dragonball Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Bad luck Bud... Glad you are both OK! Bits of cars can always be replaced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dont forget all the painting and fiddling if you're gonna have to fit new wings, and at decent garage labour rates probably thats gonna be as much as the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 sorry for you mate. Just what you don't need before Christmas. Like others have said "use it as an opportunity to get some new goodies for the car and fix the stone chips" Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Thanks for the replies gents! As Paul says, as least no one got hurt Had another look and there is a tiny crease in the cross member at the front, this pushed the wing out about 5mm. Doesn’t look too good! The rear is the worst. It doesn't show it in the picture but the whole section where the scratches are is pushed in about 1 inch. Hope it can be straightened out again... Anyone know if it’s okay to pootle around on the spacesaver? Would appreciate it anyone could let me know if you see any wheels for sale (anything will do for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazer Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Gutted m8 - I know how it feels I've been driving on the space saver for nearly 2 weeks due to shortage of F1s - even driving at 50mph feels dodgy - back end feels very twitchy.

Graham S Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 hey mate, sorry i never made it up there, got stuck doing bloody work, just seen the damage, that can be fixed i'm sure. If you want the number for that bodyshop we were talking about the other day let me know, like I said, never seen anyone no where near as good. If you want you can borrow my rear wheels to get around with if it helps, i ain't using them, and i can get you trade on toyota bits if that helps. take it easy..

Homer Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks for the offer of the wheels and help Graham, much appreciated. May well need to order some parts from Mr T this week!! Luckily CJ had some stock 16's available, he's even delivering them to Reading tomorrow - top bloke!! Could you send me the contact details of that body shop?
