ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

hey guys thoght i'd share with you my accident today so i was driving through an intersection at woy woy (COAST) and saw to my left a car moving forward on left hand side of me trying to creep through a red light as i looked i noticed the car in front had stopped as i turned my head BANG!!!!! i'll let the pictures speak for me wasnt speeding so thats good but here we are im so F'N devo'd... damage that i can see
front bar, bonnet, head lights and radiator thank god the air bags didnt go off

before:

AFTER:

other car:

Ouch... thats a bummer mate... so easily done though

Ouch!

Looks like time for a new RA front

Yea. I hate it when the car in front of you slams the brakes when you are watching for that idiot beside you.

If this makes you feel any better: My friend's 2 month old Fiesta got smashed at the side but he couldn't get the plates off the offending car as it did a run into the streets. BASTARDS.

Holy crap ben! Thats a real pain in the ass man. Its only a flesh wound though. As others have said, i think a RA front end is in order

Do let us know if theres anything we can do for you mate, ClubCJ will back you up!!!!

thanks guys AAMI are willing to put an RA front end and bonnet on it for so sweet deal but if i need u which i may i'll get to u guys

RA Bonnet aswell!!?!?!??!?! You lucky bastard!

How much was your excess?

I think thats a little more than a flesh wound. Stupid tow bars. Looks like some radiator damage too. Front lights always seem to hold up well in accidents.

You do have insurance dont you?

yep radiator is damaged i hate towbars they should be illegal if ur not towing excess was $1150 coz im only 22 headlights are busted the black plastic at the bottom is every where yer tadz im lucky RA bonnet buddy yee harr

He sure does....!!! Hope they hold to that - nice

Nice of them... I would have thought they'd say no for sure - unless you're paying the difference...

Nasty little 'ding'.... I'd have liked the lights to go myself... (as I need a new set)

$1150 for a RA bumper and bonnet is alright.


But seriously, I've had one accident, glad you're alright

Thats a bit of a ding in the pocket :S

Have you got a hire car for the interim?

Oh yes, most insurance companies are terrible for us males under 25.

I'm with AAMI too and I have the basic $500 excess + another $500 because of my age. When my policy is up I'll be looking hard for one with a lower excess but similar annual fee.

Currently I pay $661 (or around there) with a 10% discount from the safe driving course and because I switched one of our cars to AAMI too Though the stupid sportback is $50 more expensive a year compared to the sedan!

BTW, check the car properly when you get it back from the repairers. My gf's car still has the bumper sticking out a little from a dodgy AAMI repairer. When we first collected the car they didn't hook up the licence plate lights and something about the front grill wasn't on. Grrr....

Are the lenses OK on the lights? Ask them very nicely if you can have them please? Mine are pitted like buggary!!!

lol shane yer not even a scratch mate ohh and jake its $1150 for my excess
