You must have been going pretty fast to write it off after hitting lamp posts. Whats the damage??

 

[fraz_micra_88]

whole front is EDITED n summit radiator n #### thats the thing tho a was doin bout 35 ish n ma car jss went skiddin out :s the guy behind me sed wit happend a told him n he jss drove away EDITED!

 

[scottish-sr]

A lesson for you I suppose then mate. Shocking that the car slid at 35mph, must have been a tight corner, either that or very slippy.

Good effort taking out 2 lamp posts though

If its just aesthetic damage, it might not be that much 2 repair.

[fraz_micra_88]

sorry guys how do u get pics onto threads?

 

[Djdr1veB1]

Sorry to hear that mate, nothing worse than crashing your pride and joy! before you decide not to do the work on it have a look on ebay at the parts you'd need, you'll be suprised how much you can bolt straight in, I know when i had one of my cars broken into i lost all interest in the car, it's like your car has been tainted!!!

I personally wold love a go at getting a car with a smash and doing a rebuild seen a couple on ebay but none have bee close enough! Well worth looking into!!

Hope your good and te car gets repaired, sold or goes to that ig cruise in heaven!

[fraz_micra_88]

Sorry to hear about your accident...

unfortunately this time of year as well as leading upto Christmas the MSC forums are littered with crash and write off threads. It's the same of most forums this time of year brings a lot more crashes due to the hazadous driving conditions and it will even catch the best of drivers amongst us.

Roll on summer!

Unlucky man that is pretty bad, especially before the meet......

Fancy sending me your grill? No.....? was worth a try at least

 

[fraz_micra_88]

the whole front is dun in mate even the subframe is away

 

[scottish-sr]

You probably could repair that mate, new bonnet, lights, bumper, crossmember and possibly wings aswell. Aslong as its still ok underneath it might work out cheaper for you than going through insurance and having that on your back - especially as your only 18.

 

[fraz_micra_88]

am no clamin the insurace man the insurance wid go through the rooof man just lookin at sum new cars the now a dunno tho

If your looking for a new car it would probably be cheaper to repair it, unless you want to drive something thats going to break down all the time.

Other way to look at it is to get a new car and strip the Micra.

You thinking about another Micra then? Maybe an SR?

 

[fraz_micra_88]

ach ave got no idea all get a quote to see how much it would to repair it, because te subframe is bent dus that not mean its dun?

 

[runaway-robot]

Probly just be best 2 strip ur micra and buy another one...

Gd ur ok tho

 

[fraz_micra_88]

a think all just do that took all ma speakers neons cd player n that only fing on it that i put on is ma back box n thats annoyin

 

[Alienfish360]

Out of curiosity do you know why you lost control?

I don't think I've had my back end come out unless being stupid..... doesn't look like 35mph damage either.

I had an accident 2 years ago, where I hit the back of my mate, was similar damage to that but off center(as I tried to swerve out of his way), so my bonnet survived. Repaired car myself was closer to 50mph than 30mph though.

Ah well, sorry to hear about your car, as long as you know why it happened and you learn something from it, there's nothing wrong with it.

 

[fraz_micra_88]

no idea man honest a dunno a wasent doin anythin stupid mite of hit the wheel a bit fast the road was slippery tho so that mite of been it! just stripped my car today it is well guttin
