Sometime between now and yesterday when i went to the new forest this has happened to my lotus elise 111s



No ones owned up to it, obviously just drove off like normal! f'ing gutted i am, Not had the car long either like 4 months! Only problem with the lotus's aswell is theres not many removable body parts, so if thats not fixable will have to buy a new front clamshell which would cost a bomb!!!! theres also a massive scrape right was along the middle



Thats annoyed me for the day!

terribly sorry to read this Ant, somebody hit my mirror on Matchams lane and because there were multiple cars I couldn't work out which of the fkers did it no one stopped they just all fked off! Gang of s they should all be whipped and then forced to pay for the damage and the mental anguish that this causes and then whipped again!

I dont think people know the size of their actual cars, have so many people like in the middle of the road when your going down a country road, im like good god you dont need that much room! Then things happen like you lose your wing mirror, which has happened to me down cranleigh road.. then obviously someone didnt realise that there car was as long as they thought when reversing straight into my f'ing car!!

I would be too, nodoubt about it that is repairable. Might not be able to take it to a garage and they'll do it but repairable your own time by yourself and then get it sprayed.

Have alook at this, as I hope it does help

Cheers for going to the trouble of getting that link for us, unfortunetly me and anything manual and cars dont go together.. usually end up doing more damage than good.. Many previous trips to salvage yards from where my temper ran away from me and i ended up breaking things LOL. have got it booked into a pro next week.

Sorry to hear that mate!
I know only too well what having your car damaged feels like at the moment...

sucks big time doesnt it!

[ant111s]

supermarkets always seem to be a prime place for car incidents!

years back i used to work at sainsburys and cant recall how many numerous times we heard about car crashes and accidents happening in the car park!

A bloke i know took his new Impreza to Ikea in Southampton the other week. He had only had it a couple of days and when he returned to it in the car park the whole front bumper and offised wing was gone. Some guy towing a load of trolleys had cut the corner and destroyed it.

hey cheers for that story, makes me feel a tiny bit better!

[ant111s]

money saved on going to ikea for products then spent on the car.. Kind of defeats the object of going to ikea then

WOOOOOOOOOOO

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

GOT THE MOTOR BACK TODAY!!! YAHOOOOO!!!!



BEFORE



AFTER



Cost me £200 in total and he even touched the side of the doors with paint for me aswell, i think whoever opened the car must have opened the door and scaped a wall with the side of the door.

Anyway.. It was AB Auto's car body repairs in christchurch that did this amazing job for me. Well chuffed, would recommend and use again, but hopefully i wont have to some time soon!.

Wow- loks like a great job and thats much cheaper than I would expect. Did they have to take the clam off?

Not a clue didnt ask tbh. Yea i was surprised by the price i was thinking in more of the £500 area so well pleased.. Shouldnt have had to be done in the first place mind you, but not as much damamge to the pocket as id expected! Well pleased to have it back though!

[ant111s]

if it was done in a supermarket car park would have definately tried to claim off them.. but i dont even know really when it was done, was sometimes between sun/mon o well its been done and dusted now. So glad to have it back and for a good price also. YAY!
