Mate, i feel for you...
First of all, welcome to the club
Secondly, yes, you are lucky that the airbags didn't go off. This is a blessing and a curse. This is a blessing because it means your car isn't badly damaged, and you came out fine
It is a curse however, because it means the car isn't going to be a write off (unless they find suspension damage). That means no new car for you. From the damage (it doesn't look structural, just cosmetic), I would suggest you find yourself a reputable workshop to send your car to, don't let the company choose it for you. That was my biggest mistake when I had my accident. I'm still dealing with the problems - and I discover new ones everyday! I'm sick of it... and really give up on chasing it up, and having the car in down time .
Hope that helps Good luck and blessings on your car's safe return to the roads .

Ouchie. Poor RA... Naughty truck. I always watch trucks at roundabouts no matter where they are. And SUV's for that matter. I'm in Canberra and we have a lot of roundabouts here... and a lot of soccer mums in big arse SUV's that don't use their left hand side wing mirror, or their head checks... and often not their indicators - I'm sure there's a bunch of vehicles in the ACT that get sold with indicators as an extra cost option which people choose to forego. LOL.
Anyway, welcome to ClubCJ and hope that shiny RA is all fixed up soon.

Exaltd you've got me all worked up and paranoid now regarding the workshop the car was sent to.. I'm with CGU and sent the car to their preferred workshop..
I think i'll spend the rest of the day researching workshops, before they get started on my car. According to CGU customer support theres a 24hour turn around from 9AM this morning on processing my claim, till when they start on my car (and from when I find out if my premiums get jacked up I suppose ) so I have some time to check things out.
And thanks for the welcome guys

The problem with round-abouts is that some people still feel the need to rush on thru! If they took their time, there would be less trouble - similar story for my mate, car was 2 weeks new, entered the round about and got written off by a skyline that sped and failed to indicate...
Hope your toy gets repaired up good!!

Local to me, not so much to you, is a small panel beating business who is the only panel beater I trust to touch my car. He is my "family" panel beater, we get all our work done at him.
He even uses all genuine parts, unlike a lot of others
His contact info is here if you are interested. He is CGU preferred too.
He is a great panel beater. I recommend him to everybody, and everybody thanks me for it as they are so very impressed with his work. He genuinely cares, rare I know!
I have no affiliation at all with him or his business, apart from my dad knowing and using him for a good 15+ years. I still pay the same prices as everybody else too, which I don't mind, as I'm supporting a local business.
