Default OUCH - Crashed my Focus ST today... LOL (WITH PICS)

Thank fuck for modern car design and crumple zones. !!!

I pulled out of a junction today after being stopped into the path of a car I may or may not have seen coming from my right hand side....LOL
Couldnt have been doing more than about 15 mph but I was accelerating.
(not an admission of fault just in case the feds are watching)

It was a peugeot 106 and when I hit it, I pushed it bulldozer style to the other side of the road and its now the shape of a banana !
Definitely a write off and good job there wasnt a passenger in it !

My car still drives ok as the space behind the bumper is about 10 inches away from the radiator and intercooler.
The bonnet has a large mark on it but thats on where a peice of rubber trim bounced on it and also has a deep scratch.
The bonnet probably needs a respray, a new front bumper and all the trim bits !

Thanks fuck for insurance and no excess fee

Some pictures ......

It's actually improved the looks of the car
You can get that Bad boy bonnet that you've always wanted on there now

I'm glad no one was hurt

Oh & insurance with no excess? How did you manage that?

would you not have been better just to put it in to get the chips painted on the bonnet instead of crashing it

Not a bad one at least, should repair easy enough. Will be interesting to see how the colour matches on the painted panels when its done. I done a front bumper and it was great match but another lad has done a couple and had loads of bother with it.

wasn't this the really minty one that was for sale with the motorsport rims, shame, looked like it had been kept minty.

Still, only a little knock so sure you'll have it back to minty again.
