The matt finish is a wrap over a gloss black…so that should fix up ok…BrianD wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:42 pmThat is not going to be a cheap fix, especially with the matt paint finish.

Ouch,that looks a sore one.
Looking at the damage,and the price of the headlights,new Wings and probably a front Bumper..... could be looking at ,£10-15k by the time everything is fully sorted.
Thankfully not been too many accidents on the Forum runs since they started about 13-14 years ago
Only Scottish one of note was fairly minor with someone doing some good avoidance driving and mounting a banking,with damage limited to Front bumper etc.
Other than that,one early National meet had a similar accident to this,with a bit of misjudgement on the Drivers part.
Thankfully both times,Drivers were ok if a little shaken.
Glad the Drivers ok,Cars are easier repaired than people.

Glad no one was hurt
Hopefully if the car is heavily modded all the mods and the wrap have been fully declared to the insurers
Hopefully there isn’t too much damage underneath and the structural integrity hasn’t been affected otherwise that could be a write off

I thought that with the chassis behind the wheel arch, looks raised a fair bit, hopefully not.earthdweller wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 8:23 am Hopefully there isn’t too much damage underneath and the structural integrity hasn’t been affected otherwise that could be a write off

Yes turns out he overtook the Mini on a blind corner..motorcyclist was coming the opposite way..he collided with the innocent Mini head on…shoved the Mini through 90 degrees plus and up onto the bank.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 9:32 amI thought that with the chassis behind the wheel arch, looks raised a fair bit, hopefully not.earthdweller wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 8:23 am Hopefully there isn’t too much damage underneath and the structural integrity hasn’t been affected otherwise that could be a write off

The drunk/drugged driver and his car were unmarked….
There may have been other causal factors but who knows those..

I’ve heard of cars being written off due to long waits for parts as the cost of rental cars is part of the claim
Hopefully all will be sorted and the car will be as good as new

Well I guess once it’s an insurance job then….
Going forward as residuals drop won’t take much to get to write off stage…
