This is wat happens when u let some1 else drive ur car and r use to manuals :cry: :cry: :cry:
Here's the result of running into my house from the garage :cry: :cry: :cry:
And it is still driveable,even though now it looks like a P.O.S. :cry:

Huh, they are used to manuals and drove into the house? Brake and accelerator is still the same pedal!

Bad luck, but at least u get a second chance with making that grille look neat :)

Have the panel beaters straighten out the bonnet for a few $$$ then buy a grille at the wreckers and attach an AMC front bar :)

Easy :)

Who the heck did that?

And how? You'd have to try to do that!

GF did it and she's still upset about it all :cry: :cry: :cry:
though it was an accident :cry:
jus don't wanna think of the repair bill :cry:

women :roll:

Shame :(

Actually could be a bit lucky that it didn't damage any of the lights, as that would need to be replaced & from memory can be fairly costly :(

nah its only 150 per headlight for the normal magna headlights
the parabolics are 600 per light though

I really feel for you. :( :( :(


Reminds me of years ago when my GF (now my Wife) backed my car into her parents house it was fibro and put a great hole in the side of the house, all she was worried about was me dumping her for damaging my car, I had a small scratch in the paint and her parents had a great hole in their house, all I could do was laugh.

Did she hit a pole or something?

The bonnet's knocked out of place and alignment from the looks of it...

The grill and bumper is a small problem..

Yeah... lucky the headlights weren't hit..

I feel for ya man...

No left leg action...

Mate.. I feel for ya.. Just be afraid of INDIAN women.. check this.. rich woman driving a MB ML430, parked in her friends driveway, the friend needed to go out.. so what does she do.. she chucks it in reverse, goes to press the brake.. UH-OH.. dabs the gas, *BANG* into the Benz.. thats not it.. she panics chucks it in drive and plants it.. straight through the house, car misses the TV by approx. 1ft. Thankfully.. I'm not related to that family, my whole family has gone for them defensive driving course things, damn they're fun. Anyways.. a lil fibreglass on the grill and try and sort out a DVS style mod.. worth a try!
Later

SuFz :duh:

I hope you have insurance...
You will be up for a replacemnet bonnet (it is creased on the side and you cannot get to the front lip to sucessfully beat out hte dents.
New grill is need.
New TH Bumper bar skin.
New intrusion/ reinforcment bar from behind the bar.... ( I have one spare)
If you have th insurance go throught them and you could get a differnt front bar put on instead.
Most insurance companies require 3 quotes or one from a nominated repairer.
HOWEVER if "your" quote from your "friend" is cheaper than their quote.. they "may" let your friend do the repairs... thus allopwing you to "change" the front bar/grill etc.

I have ALWAYS been allowed to do this with my insurance companies... since My Bro-in-law is a PB it saves me money in the long run.... at least enough to cover the excess...

PS Give her a BIG HUG and tell her it is Ok and that you still Love her.
It will go a long way.... After all accidents can happen to ANYONE!

And also look on another bright side - it could have been a front bar like hadyn's!!

see - thats what happens when you don't bring her on cruises!!

Hope to see it back on the road again soon mate!!

Manual

True Manual....
Mine is one of a kind.... Meaning that it was not re-moulded and there for could not easilly be remade :(
Haydn

Think new bonnet is about $320
Grill kit is about $110
Front bumper $300

most can be found at wreckers, but hafta be lucky

i feel for ya man, i couldnt think wat id be like if it happened to me

Trav

Beleive it or not ... but the gril might be able to be plastic welded for about $70 .. Also the front bar they would prob fix as well.
The bonnet ... Um well you "could" fix it if pushed..
I say all the above .. purley for the bad chance that you "arnet insured... or are not thinking of going through your insurance.

there are always ways of fixing stuff on the CHEAP!! :D

Haydn

Sorry to here mate... :cry: :cry:

UPDATE!
Ok the Magna is at the Panel Beaters and is getting dun as an insurance job :D
If i was going to pay out of my own pocket,it would have been well over $2000 in new bonnet,grill,bumper and a new air conditioner and regassing(the beam holding up against the air conditioner has actually bent it and would need to be replaced)labour,paint etc. all up
when i was told of this i went on my insurance,having to pay for a 21 yr olds excess+mine on top,round 700bux,so do the math :D :D
When i was told of getting a new bonnet,bumper and grill,all genuine,i was AMAZED!
these are just bare metal,no paint nuthin-All for a TH model-
bonnet-$250!
Grill-$50-$52!
Bumper-$150!
Very surprising as this all comes from Genuine Mitsubishi spare parts
and the air conditioner and regassing is around $500-$600,all before labour and paint
BTW,I got the P.B. guy to spray up my new grill the sienna red,as i did a P.O.S. job of it,and may get him to do my consoles too :D

Also,thanx for the support fella's,much appreciated,as my GF is still pretty worried over it all,but like what TButcher said,Accidents happen 8)
Hope to see u guys on the next cruise in 1 piece(i hope 8) )

ahh good work :)

hey some good may come out of it :)

Yeh,i guess some good has come out of it :D
the bumper was scratched like hell on the bottom and the grill......well :lol: :lol:
BTW.the magna's all stripped of the crashed parts and waiting on the new 1's to arrive so it's all good till next week,when the 700 bux is to be coughed up :?
oh well 8)

it's all good till next week,when the 700 bux is to be coughed up :?
oh well 8)

This is where you put in place the 700 odd favours your girlfriend is going to provide..

Coughing up isnt one of em :oops:

Your gonna make her pay you back right?

She payed half-i payed half so it's all ok by me 8)
