For those who remember, about 6 month ago.

This one




To:



Then I was off for a week at Xmas and it was finished and gone when I it back to work so never got to show you pics.

Well yesterday it came back in, so thought I'd show you all.




Good as new eh?




Oh wait, here's why it's back in.





Closed door gap completely


And shunted front into another


Into the bin it goes this time.

Are you allowed to salvage things of it? Engine, interior etc, or does it have to get scrapped as a whole?

Must be a few k worth of working parts?

Is just a case of bad luck, both accidents were not her fault.

We're not Daimo no, it's a lease car so will go to a salvage company, more than likely be a Cat C/D and will see the road again.

Not Unrepairable, just not worth repairing for the insurance company.

Ha thanks. Yeah should have another coming up of a 62 plate Ibiza FR. Similar damage to Polo (rear end) but not quite as heavy.

Nice hard hit up the arse. U and me would fall out if you left the door striker on if I was painting it. pain in the arse to mask out sometimes.
Would love if we were allowed to buy the salvage from insurance.

Haha I always take most things off, unless I'm told not to. Makes a much better job taking as much as possible off.

Touchscreen tbh, nearly killed me a few times. Almost impossible to operate without looking due to no tactile response from buttons.

Cheers RS6.

Will try get as many pics of the Ibiza as possible. Pretty busy at moment, got 45 lease cars to do in around 5 week. As well as other company's cars we do, NHS cars. And private customers. And every week for the past 4 week we've been 1 staff member short, which makes a big difference when there's only 7 of you

Both non fault accidents. First was a van driver run a red and did the side damage. Second a car didn't stop when she did. Got the repair quote to £8.5k so it's defiantly a goner
