Hi All, had someone drive into the back of me at 35mph on Tuesday and shunted me into the car infront which had a tow bar..

Pics:



Bonnot bent up and STI grill broken...



Crash bar has hit the rad, subframe is a mess underneath





Pics of rear don't do justice, alot of damage underneath.

She hit me so hard that her airbags deployed and horn was stuck on. I still feel terrible and in pain, such a shame a lovely car that I won't be able to replace (only 90 left!).

It's going into the body shop to be looked at on Friday, not holding my breath on a repair being possible frown

I am assuming you mean only 90 UK spec B's left ?

Where did you get the 90 left info from ?

Sad day fella, a real shame

I saw your thread on the Legacy forum also and all the guys were asking if your grille was damaged and asking how much if it wasn't etc rolleyes

Like some posters were advising make sure you get as close as to the value it was worth if your claiming direct of 3rd party's insurance and if you do want it back make sure it doesn't disappear into spare parts once they have inspected it

Good luck
