UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Happened this afternoon on a roundabout. Luckily the Golf held up well against the Suzuki Alto which has a completely smashed front bumper, split radiator and grille.

Just what i didn't want a week before I go to Wolfsburg in it! It will hopefully only require a new rear bumper as its scuffed and slight surface cracks. Did ask the insurance co if the VW factory could do the repairs but unfortunately they can't lol

















Have taken a gazillion pictures!

any pics of the other car?

Its going to annoy me if i am following you to Wolfsburg (get some black paint over the red bits!!!)

As long as your ok anyway! its only cosmetic on the car!

Sorry to hear that Dean, glad to see ZAK held up well though!

Would be awesome to have the guys in Wolfsburg fix it

sorry to hear that mate, what a bugger just before a big trip! hope you can get it sorted quickly!

sorry to hear dino, hope you get it sorted asap!
last week i was washing mine and noticed a dent in my door where someone has opened their door into my bodywork, hardly noticeable but i know its there which is annoying

Ben

I've already left you a msg on facebook, but nevermind. Looks like it will just need a new bumper to me, these cars are very sturdy! I take it the one that hit you was red!

Ah man thats unfortunate! sucker timing too, I trust they'll cover all your costs?

That's a shame Dean! Doesn't look so bad, hopefully won't take too much trouble to sort!

Not good news before a big trip though mate!

yeah, all my cost are being claimed, even all the flipping painkillers I had to buy! im not being even a few quid out of pocket!

just waiting for my local bodyshop to call to arrange an estimate. as soon as I get the estimate i'm going to clean all the red paint off and touch up the black lol.

just trying to find someone to get it on the ramp to check underneath. VW MK are booked up for weeks so ned to try some other dealers.

Ohh let me know how much it's going to costs, (if you don't mind)

bad news. grrr.

as you've said, some G3 on the red bits will sort out the obvious marks, then touch up and boot polish will solve the scratches. no-one will know!

I don't mind - i'm not paying for the repairs, so no problem!

Ooo, thats a beeatch Dean! Really bad timing

Still its not too bad, all looks pretty easily sorted. Could have been alot worse, I can vouch for that

ahh shame mate, but try and think of it in a good way, you will have a nice shiny resprayed rear bumper for free, how hard did she hit you?

He hit me at about 15-20mph
