RickyZ Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I was hoping if never have to make one of these threads this morning some Wally decided to change lanes without looking/indicating and drove into my zed. Damage isn't too bad but bad enough. Reported it to my insurance company but waiting for the outcome of blame. As it's a changing lane incident and there were no witnesses I'll have to rely on the other party being honest. Anyone got any good garages I can get a quite for repairs from? I'm based in Surrey.

Rock_Steady Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 ouch! Did they stop? I Bloody hope so. Was it from the left or the right? Quote
RickyZ Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 some pics of the damage, dent before the wheel on the arch, scratched mirror and scratch above the wheel. Minor scratch on rear bumper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RickyZ Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 ouch! Did they stop? I Bloody hope so. Was it from the left or the right? yeah they stopped and we exchanged details. Just depends on whether he decides to be honest as there were no witnesses. Fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Sorry to see that mate, too many Zeds getting damaged lately. Hope you get it sorted out without to much agro . 1 Quote
davedutch Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Good luck, I hope the other party admits fault but the tendancy is to be economic with the truth, hope you also took photos of the scene as these can help insurers apportion blame. Quote
coldel Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I am currently getting a quote from TGM in Fleet who did a great job on my R33 a few months back, also chasing other bodyshop options in the Surrey area as well. 1 Quote

He seemed apologetic at the time but who knows what he'll say. I took photos but as it's not a clear cut rear ender it's all down to what he says. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

I can give them a try, I've always found TGM to be a little more pricy but their work is top notch. My honda buddy gets all his bits done there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RickyZ Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 I know a guy who does reasonably priced paintwork. He's really good but I think if have to source a passenger rear quarter first. Do any traders stock them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

jumping350 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) it always seems to happen on azures in that area of the bodywork, I think its the roughly the same as wassos and zhornos damage (bit less) hopefully yours can get pulled out a new rear quarter would require cutting and welding in a new one which is a pretty big job Edited June 11, 2014 by jumping350 Quote
Will370z Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I would also recommend TGM - yes they may cost more but they get the job done perfectly. 1 Quote

RickyZ Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Polished it up a bit, it's a lot less noticeable now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RickyZ Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Update: Other party accepted liability and I dropped the car in this morning for repairs. Just have to put up with the courtesy car for a few days now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
