Easty Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just happened today when a woman didn't stop at a mini roundabout. . . . . Gutted doesn't even come near to how I feel :'-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pictures don't do the damage justice. . . . It's worse in life, airbags went off and re passenger door won't even open!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyG8nby Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gutted for you mate! I know how I would feel! As for a write off it prob down to the damage you can't see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Gutted for you mate. I'm sure wasso had similar damage and it was repairable. Hope you get it sorted out Edited March 12, 2014 by The Chubby Ninja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almeida1234 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) By looking at it is fixable, but insurance company is more likely to write it off. I remember seeing RT performance fixing a similarly damage car. Sorry to see this though Edited March 12, 2014 by Almeida1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sad to see an Azure in that state. Pictures don't look too bad but as you say don't know the whole story until you get under it! Fingers crossed its fixable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 gutted for you m8.hate reading these posts. ......going to say its a write off due to air bags etc and panel work/labour costs....stucks m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You need it checking out, clearly its an insurance job paid from the woman's side it certainly does not look like a write off to me but you can't tell from a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree with the others, write off despite it being repairable. If you get decent money for it might be worth buying back to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's sad mate, gutted for you, but sh1T happens. It may be a write off, it will be a cat D or C anyway so get the full pay out, buy it back for a £1k or so and get it repaired and enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 As long as no one was hurt......cars can be fixed, or a new one bought. To me it looks like a write off esp with airbags and such needing replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You're looking at a fair cost to be fair. The rear quarter panel is something like £600+ can't remember the price. I was lucky not to have any structural damage and just cosmetic, but still cost me a fortune!! Airbags could be the insurance decider to be fair. Here was my damage.

GMballistic Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sorry to read this Easty. Glad you weren't hurt though. Definitely going to have nightmares tonight now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sorry to see this, as the air bags have deployed they may well write it off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Really sorry to hear this mate. From the looks of it insurance may write it off unfortunately. It's a real shame to see this happen to a zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Guess the insurance co will write it off, even for a little scrape like that. I doubt it would cost much to fix out of your own pocket if you have the time to find the components/panels yourself through breakers and had a cheap local shop work on it for you. Three panels + 3-4 airbags? <£2k inc labour? You might find the hit you take on a cat C/D classification is less than the cost of repairing it outside the insurance policy?

14N Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gutted for you mate. More so it wasn't your fault. I'd err to the side of write off I think due to the extent of the damage. Hopefully the insurance settle on a reasonable amount for you. Will you replace it with another Zed if its total loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Shocker mate, I think it looks like a hefty insurance job! Gutted for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Ouch that looks painfull, only glad nobody was hurt. Would it be fair to say that there's a possibility it could be a cat C or D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Airbags have gone off , I'd be amazed if they don't write it off mate . Real shame too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS8055 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wow.. really sorry to see/hear about this! As said by numerous others, airbags will no doubt be the decider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 As others have said, totally gutted for you mate! Fingers crossed you get it sorted on insurance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
