Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

[Callumgw]

mine went 3 months before some twit reversed into the door while it was parked. "I heard the reverse sensors beeping then there was a bang". ohh really a surprise that I bet .....grrrrr

at least we swapped details so NCB is all good.

Good to hear mate, just in time for the next calder meet

I just had a skim through the events bit... didn't see anything for Calder. What are you doing drags or sprints?

I was hoping I'd never have to post in this thread but here we are, nearly 6 months to the day since I drove off the lot.

I was actually pulling into the service centre this morning for my 6 month service when someone reversed into it. The driver said they didn't know I was there because their car didn't have a "reversing warning beep thing"...



Anyone know a decent repairer on the lower north shore of Sydney? One who does NRMA insurance jobs preferably...

Tough luck.

Damn, that's annoying.

Hope getting it repaired is as painless as possible.

Did you explain to them that the two round squishy things in the front of their head can also be used when reversing.

managed to get a small dint in the front wing from a high speed bird impact.

No paint damage, so should be able to be popped out.

How high we talkin' about?

How high we talkin' about?

Closing impact. Bird must have been going at least 120+

+1, or the smash repairer directly across the road from Chatswood Classic service centre - that's who they use.

From the picture I think you got lucky that they didn't hit your rear quarter panel.

Thanks guys.

Concours (the ones across the road from Chatswood Classic) said they could see me sometime around mid July and I've dealt with Hillermans in the past but thought they avoided insurance jobs. Turns out I was wrong and I dropped in yesterday afternoon for a chat. Fingers crossed they can get it done soonish.

As for the rear quarter panel, she just managed to clip it and not sure how they'll approach it. The door is definitely a writeoff though.
