So two and a half hours ago whilst I thought I was about to get lucky I hear a loud bang and my alarm going off. Looked outside the window butt nekked and saw a car facing my zx. Quickly got dressed and out and was greated by a group of young lads who said my cars just been hit and the other car sped off. Walked around to the driver side and my heart skipped a beat. The shop across the road has cameras and shows the

car driving down and straight into my car. Unfortunately can't read/see the plate. Of the 7 lads not one has managed to get the reg yet saw everything. Ontop of that only one is willing to give a statement who lives down the street from me.

 

 

The arch is touching the tire and the door won't open. Right now don't think it's completely sank in as I'm feeling emotionless. I think I'm handling the situation quite well for now. :(

 

Will get a copy of the footage and post it up maybe someone good with editing videos can work their forensic magic

Insures with Dean and grove. Do not have an agreed price apart from when they ask the value of car. Haven't got it checked yet need to hammer the inner arch as it's best amd touching the tire. Will have it checked in the next couple of days. Just checked mot expired!!! Need that doing pronto.

Yep got that bud thanks gotta head to the police station and see if they can use/confirm it

Just a quick update, I've found http://mib.org.uk/Home/en/default.htm which will basically will pay out for the cost of the repair. Rather then claiming against my own insurance! Its for instance like this and for those that do not have insurance and are at fault etc even includes property damage. So will be going through with this if cant get hold of the fuqqah who damaged my car.

 

As for the pendejo, my brother in law spotted the exact same can in the area and got his plates. Shows up as black 3 door megane!! Another trip to the five o tomorrow.

 

Also Ill be sourcing parts for my car to get it done quicker when time comes.

 

Any recommendations for a reputable body repair shop?

 

Thanks

I am very impressed with you all for your invesigative skills & ur time & effort with helping.

 

Just a thought & might be Bxlxox but if a car is insurance right off cant u buy it back?

 

Also is it then a class C or D cat?

 

Hope ur chassis is good. Good luck with it all. Art213

The catagory is to do with the severity of the damage. The buy back policy is often written into your policy sone offer it some don't it's down to you to negotiate this. The catagory may make buy back useless as a cat A for example can't even be broken for parts it must be crushed. Sadly I think the op will struggle to get this car not written off as a catagory D as the costs if the rectification will probably be too heavy in relation to value of the vechile. Sad really but depending on the insurance company a zed with a scratch on every pannel is highly potentially a write off :(

Thanks pal. If I don't do it no one else will!! Cant even depend on the cops. Could buy it back depending on the insurance company. Cousin had his carrera turbo written off by his insurance and he was able to buy it back and the damage was significant. Not entirely sure what class it would be tbh.

Claiming form my own insurance will be the last resort as I know they will just fob me off. Will be going through the mib as there isn't specific mention of cars being classified as cat c or d after repair nor refuse to pay out, as far as I know from what I've read. I could be wrong but will find out when it boils down to it.

 

Oh btw I rang up the police station and spoke to a lady who was coincidently dealing with my case in the morning. She said it hadn't been reported (whatever that means) so she will take the reg. Once she had it she kindly notified me that because it is not a UK registered car they cant do anything about it and that interpol would have to get involved and pursue it with scotland followed by ''it wouldn't happen as it is a minor case'' She did say that my insurance can do something about it. So lets see what my insurance says!

 

I had the car checked out but I'm not entirely convinced that ''its fine.'' Any suggestions what to be looking for? To me everything looks slightly bent lol.

Thanks :thumbup1: will be calling tomorrow

I hope your insurance company do pursue the matter, although I fear that once again, you may find that the cost of them chasing down the offender will far outweigh a simple payout to you.

I bought my car back from the insurance and it was a total loss never to be allowed back on the road, chassis was so badly damaged but engine everything still fine I bought my car back for penny's and got a 4k of the insurance for the car there first offer was 800quid I made them get an independent assessor out to value the car it took a few months to get what i was happy with but well worth it the market value as far a insurance comapanys are concerned is not alot so just make sure you fight them for a fair price.

Oh my god...

 

People are so careless while driving. Police should find out that person who had done damage to car.

 

:hammer:

Do you guys think I should mention to my insurance company about mib? If my insurance company says they will write it off they can bounce not categorising my z and will pay for it myself if mib doesn't pull through.
