CRASHED 407

[trem1]

well as the title says my beutiful 407 has been in a crash
we were on our way back from asda sat at a junction waiting to turn right
when a toyota yaris decided to run into the back of us at 30mph(not her best idea)
and no there was NO snow only rain
anyway the yaris is totally knackered but i dont think my 407 is quite as bad see what you guys think?
what i can see in the rain is just the obvious stuff

bumper=goosed
number plate & light= goosed
exhaust.pushed forward and concertinad=goosed
dunno if anything metal is bent cos its chucking it down and why should i bother it wasnt my fault

anyway heres some pics
[



got some pics of the yaris but there on my wifes/sons moblies as soon as i work out to get them posted i will

by the way i'm gutted AGAIN

Oh dude!! Sorry to hear that

Most important thing is your all OK.

Car doesn't look too bad, she'll be back to her former glory in no time.... Still a PITA though

[GeordieBoy]

It doesn't look too bad from the pics, hope you get it sorted soon. Dont forget the whiplash claim.

[jameslxdt]

bastards, it really doesnt seem that bad though, i hope you have comprehensive insurance though, ive had 2 accidents similar to this before and didnt have comprehensive and had to persue the other insurance companys for days till they paid out

[Blue406]

Claim whiplash, loss of earnings, trauma and terror.

Take that bitch for a ride for her stupid, stupid driving.

[mjb]

sh*t mate I really hope the stupid woman was insured and/or you have comp insurance

Is it me or does the underside of the 407 look like it's not designed to last?

Have you got any pictures of the Yaris so we can laugh?

Hi Trem, seems pretty simular damage to my car last year. In one of your photos, is your spare wheel well slightly dented? I had to have a new boot floor, full new exhaust. The cat was damaged by me driving the car to the hard shoulder and pulling on the downpipe, and then a new bumper. Looking at the car after the bump, it's immaculate. If fact better than before, as there was a couple of small scractches on the bumper. The car that hit me was probably doing about 30mph when SHE hit me. Here's a reminder of the accident damage so you can compare(boot wasn't damaged):

[jameslxdt]

this is what happend when my old 306 got written off, it was hit by a mini from behind at 60mph and i was stationary



the roof collapsed, the floor was completly gone and the exhaust was bent, and belive me it bloody hurt

[trem1]

mjb=
yep she is fully comp and said it was her fault (no sh*t) the traffic cop that came out checked all our details and said there should be no problems with insurance cos we both fully comp and she told him it was her fault as well

neildavies=
yep the damage looks about the same my eggsauce is folded up on itself(drove it home on the advice of traffic cop) only about 1/4 mile on tickover ish. bumper needs replacing , the boot floor/spare wheel well looks fine but thats looking from above ,time will tell what else if anything is needed


and i have got photo's of the yaris but on a mobile phone but i dunno how to upload them

[Captain Jack]

Sorry to hear that

Hopefully you'll be back on your feet in no time. Make sure you get a nice coupe hdi 2.7l V6 for a courtesy car

[neildavies]

There was a dent on the actual spare wheel well, the boot floor itself was fine, but it still had to be replaced. I couldn't complain really, I had £1500 worth of manufacturer's exhaust and cat on a nearly 4 year old car.

[mjb]

£1500 worth of manufacturer's exhaust and cat

[neildavies]

I know, the cat alone was £765 & vat. I'm sure an after market version would have been a fraction of that.

[mjb]

Bloody hell. I'm glad you've got it sorted on insurance, I'd probably try to get as much work done for free as I could

[neildavies]

The only original part of the exhaust system is the particulate filter, and that's the one bit I was hoping they would change.
