the wife's cw got a punch in the bum.I'm not very impressed but shes extremely peed off.she stoped and a van behind her didn't. ill put some pics up soon. :mad:
-
Damn lately there's been a lot of accidents.. :neutral:
Hope it's not much :rolleyes:
-
ouch! is your wife ok?
-
shes ok but very peed off.the damage is similar to nutter 67 cw but only on the r/h rear. :mad:
-
hope they are insured, and your cars not a write off, fliping upsetting thou, keep us posted
-
Thats not good to hear. Hope everything will be ok
-
full comprehensive insurance is a brilliant thing. :mrgreen: and I'm sure its repairable. :razz:
-
All these accidents lately :/ Must be Spring fever (at least here in the Southern hemisphere).
-
:lol: maybee spring has given these idiots bad hay fever and they cant see properly. :lol:
-
even still full comp is great, but you don't want to lose YOUR no claims..if they rearend yer if defo they fault shouldn't be so close.. claim of they insur'
-
we will ,for sure.and she keeps her rating one :mrgreen:
-
that's good did they have insur,
-
yes,and im glad they do. :mrgreen:
-
Sorry to hear about the accident.. sounds like a positive outcome...
-
Good thing you have compr. insurance.
Any pics so we could see how bad it looks? My personal experiences are that i30 CW (hatch has it probably the same) has quite "strong" rear bumper.. Well not the rear bumper, but it has metal frame or something maybe 0,5 cms behind the plastic bumper. You can feel that if you push the bumper little bit with your hand. It comes quite handy with minor impacts.. Your car stays intact, when others have more damage..
-
Sorry to hear about the rear end prang but ..............
May be drivers of other marques are so in awe of the i30 they don't notice what is going on around them. Hence the increasing number of rear end prangs
-
i must agree, the first time i see Heidi, i was in awe
-
Sorry to hear about the accident m8
-
not good

i took her down to have the damage assessed yesterday [and the cw :lol:] the insurance co said to leave it at the panel shop and they have already started to repair it.hows that for quick.i assumed i would need several quotes before insurance would start on it,now insurance assessment's are done by a accredited assessor at the actual shop.the guy that viewed the damage said there is approximately $3.500 damage.ill try and get a pic off our insurance co as i didn't get a chance because i thought it wouldn't go to be fixed for at leased a week.it needs a new rear bumper,tail light,repair quarter panel and paint.I'm glad I'm not paying a cent.luckily I'm on 2 weeks holiday as i now have to drive the wife to work and home [she cant drive a manual :lol:] but that's cool as now i get to drive my i30 more than i would if it was siting out the front of my work. :mrgreen: thanx to insurance. :exclaim:

$3,500 ! Huh nice..you are not paying for it 8)
Compr.insurence is a must have almost.. My uncle took his Ceed last day to get some scratches fixed.. Somebody scratched his right front and back doors (scratches were maybe 5 cms wide).. He also had compr.insurance and the insurance company paid for those little scratches almost AU $ 1,200.. I was shocked.. Hope your CW gets nicely fixed.
So you are taking your wife to work.. Hm..going to check up on her are you? :) Just joking..but it's obvious you can't be without work.. When they send you on holiday, you go and work at your wife's company.. :mrgreen:
-
That was quick !
Glad it all worked out... sort of.

Ask the repairer as they may have taken pics for their own record/Insurance co.
If you explain nicely that your life isn't worth a carrot when you have to tell the wife - NO PICS! - as she thinks you took pics for the album.
They may take pity on you and give you copies.
Worth a try - otherwise ............... expect the expected!
-
Your doomed
-
we picked up the cw this afternoon,its as new again. :razz:hope to post some pics of damage soon.panel shop took some before they started to repair it. :mrgreen:
-

dont think she 'll believe you thou... you'll get even more trobble by lying to her (but try for fun :lol: :lol:).. if we dont hear anything more , she's killed yer
-
:lol: :lol: :eek:

I hope there's no one on this forum with an i30 that doesn't have comprehensive insurance ... that would be crazy! (unless it's an old banged up one).
-
a lot of people getting around still only have third party fire and theft cover,the guy that hit our cw only had it.and some don't have any. :eek:
