Damn, sorry to hear that. At least it sounds like you and your friend didn't get any serious injuries from this. But also sounds like you guys might of been playing around? Hope you get ur car sorted out soon.

zetec · 19-11-2005, 05:45 PM

You got ABS too just to keep you extra safe! Bet your folks are impressed!!

xurbanx · 19-11-2005, 05:52 PM

zetec · 19-11-2005, 06:47 PM

Don't even think about it!! Wired is hideous and Indiana is just as bad!!

Indiana is YA

Wired is HH

xurbanx · 19-11-2005, 06:53 PM

seems all panelbeaters are closed on saturdays; ill take work off on monday and get all the quotes sorted out :]

it looks like a lot of dmg =X specially the bonnet and the bumper

LUXO_8 · 19-11-2005, 07:00 PM

thats not a sensor in ya front bar.... its a plug that can be removed to fit a tow hook to tow your car with....

na01 · 19-11-2005, 07:05 PM

Hope it doesn't set you back too much. The dealer told me that Fiesta's are relatively cheap cars to repair considering its german made. I guess there are tons of them in OZ.

b2tf · 19-11-2005, 07:28 PM

To be honest I was expecting the whole front end to be gone with a thread title like this one.......

xurbanx · 19-11-2005, 08:00 PM

^ lol it sounded like that! my first thought was oh sht .. my headlights!

ill grab a price for a new bumper (i like the swa ones :]) and if its cheaper than repairing the old one then ^______^

GROOV3 · 20-11-2005, 05:53 PM

thats nothing, with all the talk in the first post i expected broken headlights and stuffed bonnet.

like it will be pricey to fix but still not what i expected.

na01 · 20-11-2005, 10:21 PM

The title of this thread "bye bye Fez" gave me impression it was kinda like a write off. Lucky it wasn't though

azza1 · 20-11-2005, 10:30 PM

where about's in melb are you?? I know hundreds of panel beaters,, ben in the trade for almost eight years now

azza1 · 20-11-2005, 10:31 PM

man my spelling's up the sht tonight

xurbanx · 20-11-2005, 11:28 PM

im in narre warren :]

Danny · 02-12-2005, 12:48 AM

Helder, that thread title and the subsequent photos created one of the biggest Anti climaxes Ive experienced.

That small amount of damae doesn't warrant a respray, and insurance won't pay for a new colour.

i hear ya!... bye bye?

xurbanx · 12-12-2005, 02:57 AM

<_> its still not fixed yet lol

yeah i know that doesnt warrant a full respray; i was toying with the idea of having a full respray, i just dont like ink blue, enquired about it when i was grabbing quotes, lol the price was phewww.

btw, has anyone ordered a front bumper from the uk yet?

xespac · 12-12-2005, 04:18 AM

lol i was gonna say.... bl 2 u but like I was expecting it to have your engine in the backseat and you in the boot.... ! lucky you posted pics cause i woulda said "pix or it didn't happen"

FOCUSonTHIS · 12-12-2005, 05:29 PM

I hit a dog the other week in my focus....$1200 damage...need a whole new bumper and LH fog lamp.....the damage is nothing but needs a new bumper. At least its only something small for you

xurbanx · 13-12-2005, 02:12 AM

^ yikes! lol the dmg i got quoted for was $1000-$1100

lucky for insurance :] didja kill teh doggie?

FOCUSonTHIS · 13-12-2005, 05:30 PM

I got insurance too, the owner has to pay (lucky he was there). I shattered the dogs hip, so I think it had to be put down. Not to sure. Feel sorry for the dog, not the owner.
