SkylineV35

...and so the healing process begins! Got the mirror in today fitted it straight away as it looks way better than ductape! lol [/uR Big thanks to Nippon Auto Spares in Derby! Looking better already(trys to convince self!)

All the lil touches make it look way different from when i last seen it at coatbridge! Nice1 mate looking good! =)

Ouch is that picture in the signature 300zx? Looks nice! Sweet rims btw! Yeh for the amount we pay on roadtax etc they should bloody put neon lights round hazards like that! or those sensors that beep when u get to close.. would save us all a whole lot of money vote me for head of transport department lol

Thanks man il give him a shout tomorrow and see! Always good to shop around i suppose

Contacted a breaker... they had a skyline 350gt and from pictures the body looked mint! But they crushed it and only kept the lights!?! They just threw away sooo much money! Jeez didnt have space in the yard?! Crush the micra or yaris! not the SKYLINE!!!!!

Iv decide to fix it myself as my aim is for an R35 or Honda Nsx next so i want to try keep insurance on my good side lol So getting a hold of some parts Big thanks to Zedmanalex much appreciated and ordering some more bits and bobs for the bodywork splitters lips etc, and also a getting a full respray still deciding colour, then some carbonfibre goodies too. I wasnt going to touch the styling till i had performance and handling sorted but hey its a sign if i ever did see one! Will be hitting heavily into the 'Morgage for a house fund' lol since i dont have a missus anymore! haha Cant wait its going to be Epic! Bodyshop is free at the end of september! so it gives me time to source everything! Im so excited feels like im going to have a brand new car after this!

My premium is already 2800 a year.. Might as well make the most of it then? Sorry to see the damage My excess is 700.. iv never claimed before how do you go about it? Do i tell them straight what happened? or do i have to tell a white lie to sort it out? Im fully comp

I hate how its sunday nothings open! Going to go around a few bodyshops and see what can be done and how bad it actually is, i just hope the door hinge isnt bent, but the lines when the door is closed line up perfect to the rear quarter panel, and the dent looks like it will pop out, fingers crossed.. have driven it since i parked up... i actually took the bus for the first time in ages. Just feel like if i drive it everyones going to think wat a tw@t! lol

You were lucky Daryl, hows the leg coming on ?. Its all good thanks, the vertical bone is still swollen abit, but hopefully will go down over time. Got a massive scar, but thats about it. (Apart from my dented pride) Just read your post...very ouch! And i feel you there on the pride part...

Hope your better and ouch!

Ouch man that looks looks nasty =(

Id love to but end of the day im the driver no excuses i should have checked blindspot on my right.... So if you ever see a chinese guy in a car reversing out a carpark taking forever and looking everywhere like he just stolen a car, its just me being overly cautious! lol

My premium is already 2800 a year..

Yup I know..im thinking the same thing.. keep replaying it over and over... when i park the car im like oh careful theres a massive pillar tdnt scratch the bumper going into the space... then when coming back i blatantly see the pillar... get in car missus starts arguing about some pointless rubbish... turn on car ignoring her, lean over seat to look out the back and reverse turning steering to point the car facing right, then the worst sound ever sound EVER! crunch grind scraping sound....

I hope so too... my funds are really low at the moment! =(

Wow your car sounds like its been through an action movie lol! Iv had bonnet flip up on me before scary stuff!! flipped up on going on to motorway and smashed the windscreen couldnt see sh!t! Worse thing ever!

Lol if i cannot source il bear that idea in mind haha! Has anyone had experience with mobile dentmasters or anything similiar? would still need a wing mirror though. i pressed fold and the poor thing still trys to fold

I remember saying on the forum a while back, i was looking for an excuse for a respray...lol i guess this is it! Be careful what you wish for lmao damit!

Lol the funny thing was two days ago i seen an audi a5 with same damage and i thought to myself, how and why? then two days later i find out the hard way..

Yeah thats what im worried about i seen some breaking but mostly driver side damage, a bodyshop said something bout a doorskin..is there any pointor should i repair the whole door if all else fails?

Yeh theres a couple of breakers iv found but cant get through to them seen on sites usually 100-200pounds but have to respray etc colour match like u said. Iv emailed Alex i remember he has one for breaking but i cant remember if the door was intact. the wing is slightly dented hence why the sideskirt sticks out. theres no crumple in the door i reckon it could just pop out, but what worrying me is the door takes a good push to shut properly but once shut all the line line up to the rear quarter but the front where it meets the front wing has a 1mm gap, im hoping if i get it pulled out the gap will disapear. oh man im so gutted, so so gutted! Worse thing is im so angry i cant even express it, usually id prob go apesh!t n swear and stuff, but cant its all bottled up not good!

Got quoted 700quid by a local garage to repair but have to supply my own door...is that reasonable? i dont know prices these days... so )*&*(%&($ off right now... the car didnt even have a scratch on it till today! ()(*@^&%@#^%@($#*&

Erm... does anyone know of any good bodyshops in cardiff area? Arguing with the missus... reversed out parking space not seeing a bloody pillar on my blind spot... feel like a total idiot now... Needless to say the missus is no longer my missus lol Anybody know if il need a new door or skin or something? Thanks in advance!

Im happier with it yes but if you already have Lightweight flywheel the notice is more subtle! All in all i would say its an improvement!
