Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

[heyimsu]

3 months down and some idiot dinged my right pasegner door. Quick PDR for $80 and she's as good as new

Oh and a tiny chip on the lip of the bonnet most probably due to the trip up the sunny coast last XMAS. Getting some touchup paint next week.

Ouch!! When you hit it must have made such a noise.

@90kmh......sure did make a good thump!

oh and on the way back home on the Princes freeway today near the ring road on ramp - Huge freaking inflatable seat thing came at me, blowing across the road, missed my car by a metre or so..

That would have REALLY messed up the paint work. No idea where on earth it came from, it was about 1m^3

just under 3 months old and my baby copped it hard this morning turning right (in the left of 2 right turning lanes) and squeezed into the kerb by an M3. wobbled the car to a stop and called nrma who are sorting everything out now. was in too much shock to get the rego but what can you do

got an xr6 hire car, feels absolutely huge in comparison

That's awful - esp since if the guy didn't stop (he must've had something else to hide from the police). Was it a newer or older M3 (perhaps stolen???)

Geezuz mate, got any piccies of the damage.. very very sorry to hear.. not sure you can do any thing about the M3 anyway

He didn't stop, probably because i didn't hit him. i *think* it was a newer one (e90/e92) but to be honest i can't recall. all i remember is seeing m3, kerb, bang, and then realising that the car was broken (had to pull right to keep it straight) so just pulled over and waited for my hands to stop shaking...

I wasn't in a frame of mind to take pics, though cosmetically it looked fine apart from the rear left wheel which was scratched+dented pretty bad and pointing in a different direction. I have a hire car now though so thankfully the only real damage is $1000 excess - don't need to change any plans

[Ryan_R]

Ah that's good (well not really, you know what I mean) - thought you were physically pushed off the road.

[Candyman]

As I replied in your other post mate, that sucks

You are OK though which is great

If no panel damage, other stuff is just replace old for new

Keep smiling

could have done an axel and a wheel hub but as CM said a replacement will sort that out, just hope they are in stock.. will definitely need to get an alignment. Well there is cost a carbon fibre insert.. will have to put that off

Glad you are ok and your plans are in tact
