doesn't look good

Well I'm glad that's all sorted out and explained.

It's definitely not a Write-Off Brenton ..... but unfortunately your bank balance might be after you pay the Excess on your Insurance Policy.

Oh well .... hope all the repairs go well ....


Sam .....

It looks like you hit it and kept going...

[ofey]

Not a Chickens chance in Thailand... .

How'd you manage to reverse half a car length into a ute without noticing?

[tjoz]

Your looking at around $5k in repair costs. Rear quarter panels are never cheap to repair considering the amount of work that has to go into it. Most repairers wont even bother trying to fix it they will just order a new one same with your door.

As long as you got insurance your fine. If you dont have insurance your looking at $5k minimum and around 3-4weeks without a car

i was backing out slowly had all windows up and heard a bang then i realized i messed up

and i do have insurance still have to pay 1000 in excess

[Dirtee]

doesnt really matter if he was hit or hit something, the damage is done and he is only asking if we think its a write-off or not.

Atleast Ben gets the point of the thread...

Brenton, i hope your car is ok - the damage is always easily fixed, your wallet not so much..

If you had got the rear bumper a bit more, could have got a evo x replica rear replacement . Hope all goes well with the car though.

I have a small crack in the lower right of my bumper and when I got a quote it was 2grand on mate rates to get fixed up, might be cheaper for you to get the door fixed and just buy a new kit for a couple grand

or you can do what I did and slap a band-aid on it till it heals up

i was backing out slowly had all windows up and heard a bang then i realized i messed up

and this is not hard to do. i did it myself a few years ago same damage as you but i didnt hit a car i took out our letter box that was stuck in the ground

hope its all fixed and sorted for you soon

[brent0013]

i think the rear bumper got hit enough to cause a dint being plastic may need to be replaced
but car is insured for full body kit so maybe evox back ...
heres to wishfull thinking right

The pics aren't loading for me fully (stupid capped internet)
But if you've got any small dents or scrapes - even slight holes, look at paint less dent removal.
It's a lot cheaper than repairing it, and providing they do the job properly, just as good.
Saves your wallet for now

its a little bit more than a few scratches im going to need a new rear bumper and maybe a new door and a but load of paint but thanks for the tip

[Miss Aussie]

Ouch.
Good luck. make sure you really shop around then, if your excess is going to be 1k. I take it you're young, hence the huge excess?
I'd get the most expensive quotes and hand them in to the insurer
