Smashed Into An Audi Tt Yesterday

[abu]

tow truck driver said audi is a write off so he gets a new car out of it

that one is 2 months old

Ouch!

Bad luck man, hope it all works out.

[Russman]

Sorry to hear mate.

tow truck drivers alway say that they're write offs. don't believe them.

Bummer it wasn't the older shape TT. they're uuuuugggly!

[adam-__-]

Bad luck mate. I know how you feel with the stress of exams. Lucky you had 3rd party insurance though.

[Helio]

Good luck with sorting every thing out buddy.

[eMsta]

dang bad luck......gotta be careful around exam times man....i dont think i ever went in the skyline during exams unless i had good sleep (99% of the time, I was living on coffee)

sux2b the other guy too

but as the others said, main thing is no one was hurt

[Ronin 09]

that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

chassis doesn't look bent on the TT so it will be repairable.

[saff_cossie]

Sorry to hear and main thing is you are OK. The damage to the Audi doesnt look that costly or like it could have affected it too badly structually. Is it worse than it looks?

At least you had 3rd party insurance too

[SKYL1N]

yeah its worse then it looks in that pic.

anyway

good news

i had a mechanic/panel beater for the HRT v8 supercar team and he said what needs fixing

new radiator

air conditioning

airbags replaced

windscreen

all the front body work

and a bonnet

anyone recommend some good places in melbourne to do this work, preferably one that specialisez in imports and has easy access to parts?

edit: ps. i understand that people may not be able to recomend/slam business on a public forum. so maybey a quiet email/pm

[The STiG]

Seriously not good at all.

All the best.

Mmm that sucks, been there too. Not fun huh, it's amazing how bad little sleep really is. I pranged a 33 no where near as bad as that and it was written off, repairable though.

[phunky_monkey]

Ahhh so that was you... my mate told me about this on Saturday night, he saw the aftermath just after it happened.

You're a De La boy then?

[chopobo]

oakleigh mech repairs should have most parts

but search forums to find cheaper parts

[UNR33L]

ah shit man that sux at least you had 3rd party tho

[STATUS]

yeah its worse then it looks in that pic.

Vu DT panels in springy.... import king

[TracidTrax]

fark thats bad luck dude, hopefully u get it all sorted out, tough times

that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

ye the last thing id want after buying a brand new Audi is for some1 to hit it then getting it back repaired, id want a new one too if ive forked out that much money.

[Adz]

Mate I know exactly where that is. When I was young and dumb i used to give that corner a little clutch dip every now and then on my way home from work. That was untill the cops and residents figured out what time I did it on certian nights and I got a serious warning. Im sure you wernt doing anything that silly. All the best with the repairs.

[SKYL1N]

You're a De La boy then?

yeah de la boy. there is still some bits of my grill at the scene :'(

thanks for all the tips. im gonna start doing some calling next week.

every time i decide its not worth it to get it fixed i have a look at it outside my house and change my mind

[R33silverS2]

If you change your mind, you know to pm me

[ak_stylez]

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

Looks like a standard series 2 reo to me. they are a bit thinner than the series 1's
