Ouch. That's the 1st prang I've heard of on a forum run too. Hope the damage isn't too extensive and driver and passenger are unhurt.

Just the driver ..shaken but not stirred…I’d imagine about £5k-£7k….

That is not going to be a cheap fix, especially with the matt paint finish. It wouldn't suprise me if the final cost wasn't north of 8K +

Headlights are £5k alone

The matt finish is a wrap over a gloss black…so that should fix up ok…

I know, they are expensive units to replace

Interesting ..my first prang I’ve seen on runs in 5 years and well over 100 days of trips

G29 (heavily tuned) did a sharp right turn into a wood shortly after turning onto a minor road..

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.

B21, saw an update last night on the accident you came across

Yes mods were declared…awaiting final quote..the damaged panel is on a 12 week lead time from Germany…

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.

The drunk/drugged driver and his car were unmarked….

There may have been other causal factors but who knows those..

Good to hear that about the insurance, not so good about the parts back order

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

Insurers seem to have accepted they are going to fix it…they even are going to restore the wrap which was non OE

[B21]

Kerching…£10k..

[Scubaregs]

Ouch!

[earthdweller]

Wow!

I’m crying on his behalf

[B21]

Wow!

I’m crying on his behalf

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…

[MikeyH]

Christ that's more than twice what I paid for mine used.
