freeman(clio) · Jul 10, 2012

Spotted this whilst at work, i work as a mechanic and do mobile diagnostics, whilst at a job over middlesbro way i spotted a liquid yellow 182 with rear end damage, it was a 54plate with ktec exhaust and cliosport stickers in window and lowered on anthracite turinis

Well if it's a write off I may be able to buy it back and then break the car for parts so il reserve the bumper for you lol!

Located in Edinburgh by any chance, plate kinda looks like VOSA?

Tommy_C · Jul 10, 2012

Sorry just seen your message mate as I said im in Italy phone must be buggering about.

Words cannot describe how gutted I am :-( after 2 years of keeping it mint!!!

Hope it's good news but rear ended clios rarely end well.

Ged · Jul 11, 2012

well driver who hit you can hardly say he did not see you, pretty hard to miss a LY! Hate seeing a thread title like this

DanielJames · Jul 11, 2012

Noooooooooooooo

ClioDS · Jul 11, 2012

Well iv just been informed my clio is a complete write off because it's in excess of £4,500 to repair. I am honestly devastated!!!

Buy it back and break it.

Good news is you'll get pretty good money as a payout because they still sell for good money in LY.

Beef-Mc · Jul 11, 2012

Shame its been written off, especially as its not your fault it happened.

Hodgins · Jul 11, 2012

very sad to hear

if you were to break it i think you would havea lot of interest

i.e. me lol
(no vulture intended)

Caekii · Jul 11, 2012

Ahh sorry to hear about this.

I'd ask for a copy of the engineers report they used to write it off, and use it to get a price on fixing it as it sounds like it was a very well looked after motor. Having had an insurance company tell me a car I had pranged needed £3500 worth of repairs I got a payout of £2.5k for the car, bought it back for £495 intending to break it and ended up getting it fixed for £500... £1500 remaining paid for a lovely holiday lol! Especially as its obvious you were planning on keeping it for a good while longer!

This makes me sad. Gutted for you mate, hope insurance aren't knobs.

Gutting.. Any pics of the damage? They normally dont take a lot to write them off..

markerboy2002 · Jul 11, 2012

That sucks

another LY 182 off the road

freeman(clio) · Jul 11, 2012

Its the way the full boot has pulled out on the ns that concerned me, but i don't think it would cost a great deal to repair, sure i spoke to you at rs tuning when it made 175hp

Sorry mate but how do you know so much about my car?

Just realised you were the guy that started this spotted thread.....FAIL by me lol

Peteappo · Jul 12, 2012

sorry to hear that a great example of a beautiful car is on its way to the scrap. try and buy it back might be cheaper than you thought to get it back and repair it

glenn_adam_doble · Jul 12, 2012

The roads round here are terrible, not hard to get rear ended as no one knows where they are going, and its generally full of idots.

my girlfriend has trouble driving round here as she learnt to drive in york, and she doesnt understand that we sort of have to make our own routes, this caught her out on the a19 flyover.

Sorry to here about your LY

A survey done recently by motor insurers showed Middlesbrough as an injury claim hotspot!

If you go down the 'BUY IT BACK' road, then I can recommend a fantastic bodyshop in the Teesside area. They will do it at a fraction of the cost of the main stealers and I guarantee the job will be of outstanding quality.

That doesn't surprise me there are a lot of people round here who will grab every penny they get, the bloke my girlfriend gently sideswiped got out the car screaming and shouting waving his arms around, then a week later he was crippled with whip lash without seeking medical attention.

Is it a bad rear end job eg boot floor creased, or just cosmetic ?
