Driving along normally towards college about 8.50am, next thing i know 54plate Fiesta puts its brakes on, i was in the wrong as i was to close so i by the time my car started slowing down i'd already arsed ended it.

Not the end of the world tbh.

Need new.. Bonnet, bumper, radiator, slam panel, both lights and belt tensionors.

Bit gutted like but more pissed out 'cos i was in the wrong so got to pay for the Fez to have a new bumper and boot denting back out and spraying.

My mum reckons they will probably make a whiplash claim and loss of earnings.

Have some pictures.

Could have been worse mate, thats an easy fix.

"so got to pay for the Fez to have a new bumper and boot denting back out and spraying."

I take it your not going through your insurance then if your just paying for the repairs.

Phone the person you crashed into and tell them you'll pay for the damages just tell them to get you a quote.

the same happened to me.

I think it's good you realise you were in the wrong - means you're not likely to make the same mistakes again.

You was proper square on the to Fiesta though, you car is still symmetrical

If you run your hands down the side of the car.. across the door and the wing, the wing sticks out slightly, but will be able to bang that back into place.

Ste, will probably have the lights off you. Maybe the bumper..

Just gotta ring insurance companies and get some details.


So whats the best thing to do now?

People think i will have to claims because of the cost of the fiesta and injury claim..
Then i've got to fix my car.
Then i've got to try and get insured again..
