Dam, that sucks man, I hate drivers who dont pay attention when driving. Hope you get a decent pay out from your insurer and get her back into shape.

thats pants

thats a horrible sight Adam ,

I know with your skills it will soon be sorted

I bet the hardest bit to replace will be the clear indicator lens.

Is it just that , the wing , headlight and bonnet or is there any damage underneath ?

not that that lot isnt enough ,but at least the bumper and spoiler seem to have survived

Real Bad luck. as redline said, i hope its just panel/light damage rather than thing being bent underneath.

Gimme a shout if you need a hand with anything,

Oh bloody hell

What an idiot... I hope insurance are good to you chap!

You killed that Honda good

Seriously, you must be really gutted.

If you don't have agreed value on that motor then don't take any crap from the insurer. A folder full of photo's of it at it's best and a letter from the Fogster in capacity of chief V300 beardie chap should convince any underwriting penpusher the error of his derisory write-off offer ways.

Gutted mate.

it does not look to bad from the pics. Replacment wing indictaor (clear lense) head light. Knock back to shape the bonnet and possibly the bumper to replace or just repai.

On teh subject of clear lenses any news?

Cheers guys, dont worry she is not getting written off no matter what. There is a small amount of damage to the front of the inner wing but i can straighten that, the lower valance under the fiberglass one has a small dent in it, the wing is toast as is light and indicator, fibreglass valance needs a repair and the bumper will be ok for now but i have a couple of plans so i will keep all posted. When i start the repair i will get some more pics.

FFS, sorry dude. I'm sure you have, but check the wheel is straight, and the front suss hasn't been bent. Get quotes from at least 2 bodyshops recommended by others to give to the insurers.

Argh! Repairable or not it's still a hassle to have to deal with! Hope you get it all sorted OK ...

Damn, that sucks

Some drivers must have some big issues, how anyone can turn front of another car in 20MPH area?

Last thursday I had close call in bit similar place too, I drove 40kph area and car (Black Volvo btw) turned front of me so that I had to brake really hard to avoid hitting side of it, it was meter or so before side of Volvo where I managed to stop, she probably did not even noticed that but continued driving abnormally slow speed.

Some type of persons should just not have license in first place, all they do is cause accidents.

Good thing that Adam's car did not get too much damage, I believe it could have been even worse. Hopefully other driver will get points of his/her card full because of causing such accident
