My poor mgzs
I crashed the car today,hit the back of a pick-up,bonnet damaged,the two front wings,the headlights and the grill is a knacked
|
Bad times :( look on the bright side you at least no one was hurt. Unless you omitted that detail.
|
Had the grandson in the car but was alright

The garage said cost more to fix than what the car is worth,insurance might write it off,see what they offer me and if they write it off,try and see if i can get the car back if they do write it off
|
If you've got the time, space and inclination buy it back every time.
|
The guy at the garage who was taking photos to send to the insurance says the engine looks ok,he said it would cost they a lot more to fix but i can get on ebay and get a bonnet and wings
|
Sorry to hear this, glad no-one was hurt.
|
nothing worse, hope all is ok!!,
I have a bumper if you need one... would need sprayed but (in yellow) |
Cheers cally180,but the bumper has only the smallest of cracks,might get away with it,only reason bumper is not bad is that the pick-up was high at the back
|
Im glad your ok mate, hope the Zed can be fixed :)
|
Cheers lukeus101,hoping it can be fixed to but the no claims is out the window
|
Sorry to hear, but sounds fixable, plenty getting broken, just a shock to the system.
Glad no one was hurt and grand son is OK, thats the main thing. Hope you can sort it without too much hassle. Dont you get protected NCB, think it allows you a couple of Oops moments!!!! |
Insurance is with Peter Best classic,they dont do ncb
|
Peter Best dosn`t give you any no claims bonus for the year premium,they said thats how they keep the cost down,I have a few yrs ncb still but have to use them within two yrs with another company and thats where i`ll lose the ncb when i declare the the crash
|
Sorry to hear about this, pleased it's not too serious.
The chances of the car being written off are high, they scrap ZS's for cracked bumpers, it's as much to do with availability of new parts as cost. As long as there is no innerwing or chasiss damage it sounds like it can be fixed with a 10mm socket and a philips screwdriver if you get used parts. |
I'll have most parts to fix. Glad to hear no one injured. Easy done!!
|
This is sad news after all your work to get it up to scratch mate. Remember I have wings in your colour and a front bumper if your turns out to be knackered.
Really sorry to hear this but glad nobody was hurt. |
Pop a pic or two up when you get the chance though so people can give opionions.
|
Sorry to hear, but glad you're both OK. With the variance in height, you were to lucky to escape without injury.
Got a set of headlights in the shed you can have for the postage if you choose to repair... |
Thanks guys

Like I said above, an insurance company will write that off.
However thats an afternoons work, especially if it is only the passanger side. I wouldn't even attempt to claim. A couple of years ago I had some clown turn right from my inside and damage my wing, the bodyshops wanted £800 to repair it, I did it for £25. |
I never deleted the photos,tried again but no luck,cant get to grips with photobucket yet,only first attempt at it today
|
The pick-up drivers company put a claim in for the little damage he had,so i may as well get something out of them,my premiums are going to go up anyway

I post my pictures on there and link to them, this works even if others don't have facebook as the photos are actually held somewhere else. |
yeah that's what I do too, much easier than faffing about with photobucket
if you have the confidence to fix it then go for it, you're spot on that insurance companies will write off MGs for a bad scratch these days |
Dont have facebook but will try it
|
The insurance company did write the car off but managed to buy the car back,so now the search begins,needs- for a mgzs 180,Bonnet with grill,left and right front wings and both headlights (complete units) all in black, Keep a eye out for the above guys,let me know prices and postage.Just want to thank everyone for their posts and for their concerns,thanks guys
|
Glad you bought it back mate. Wings are around £30 plus postage if you can find them in your colour. You can have mine for £20 each and I'll help fit them?
|
That would be great Blair,let you know more details soon
|
You can have my headlights like I said for postage. My suggestion would be to paypal me - say £20 as a gift - and then what I don't use for postage I'll refund. If that suits, let me know and I'll send you my pp details.
|
That would be great dan,pm me your details,cheers
|
Need your address mate - ;)
