UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well as the title suggests im not really a happy bunny at the moment!

I was staying round the Girlfriends last night, and parked my car on the side of the road (away from any driveways)
and then i woke up about 9am with a knock on the door from her dad...saying that opposite has backed their 4x4 into my car (whilst taking the kids to work)

the thing is she had ample space around her and she agreed it was totally her fault, which i suppose is a plus side.

The Damage..........well
The door is pushed in beyond repair and the rear quarter panel has been buckled aswell.

anyway i don't feel like i want to talk too much about it at the moment!

some pics........

Bugger!

Looks like its open season on Polos again, after what... half a dozen? ... owners have now reported damage or break ins?

The door, I hope, should be a simple replacement job... not sure about the rear three-quarter panel though. Hope it all gets sorted out with the minimum of fuss for you mate!

Sheizze!!

Looking on a plus side she's admited fault, which should hopefully speed things up. Seems a lot of polos are receiving abuse lately.
Hopefully it'll get sorted asap.

sorry to hear that mate... not alot of things get to me, but bad drivers really does..

specially stupid posers in there 4*4 who actually just drive to the local shop and back
at least she admitted it tho

thats w**k mate, why are everyone after our polos?

it is a plus that she admitted it. i hope you manage to get this sorted out quickly.

i bet it dint even leave a scratch on her massive 4x4!

sorry to hear pal

Sorry to hear this mate.
Head up you can turn this into your advantage and get side strips removed at same time?
Jon

people shouldnt drive if they cant handle the vehicle they are in !!

I keep on encountering people intent on being in my lane at the exact posistion im in !! i hate it !!

Anywayz Ben hope it gets sorted soon mate!!

That's a right sh!tter mate.

But are you sure she wasn't taking the kids to school

Just make sure you get it done at VW if shes's paying so it costs more.

cheers guys
gonna see the datf cow tomorrow and get her insurance details.
i simply refuse to get the car repaired anywhere but a VW Garage!

Sorry to see that mate, she admitted it which is a big plus.

Yes take it to VW also make sure the paint matches both sides of the car as the sun may have dulled the paint slightly so u dont want mis-matched paint.

thats exactly what i have to have done to my car... replaced door (which im afraid if its not a new one is a BI-HATCH to find!!)at a VW garage they quoted me nearly a GRAND!!!!! for this work to be carried out

sorry to see this m8!

Yep, do remember, you can have your car repaired where you wish by law, not where the insurance company wants you too... vw garage all the way in this case, as the woman is at fault

Really sorry to hear about your door there fella! could be worse,
My car before my polo was reversed into by a lorry - the whole front end literally destroyed. hope no structural damage or that will be costly!
Your only consolation is her insurance is gonna be a whole lot higher now!

Unless she's with Sheila's Wheels
