Not nice to see ! Carbon bonnet and wings time??
Couldn't believe it, gutted I couldn't get her stopped, unfortunately due to how close I was when she pulled out I panicked and locked the brakes up, once that happened I had no chance of stopping time.
Nope, no police involved, no need, just a careless mistake from someone not checking properly, just glad I wasn't on a bike in the same situation.
Not sure there much you can do to help, but thanks for the offer. Need two new wheels so thinking of going for Watanabe's, if you know anyone that owns a 16" set let me know, I need to find the inner diameter for them to make sure that they clear my brakes.Gutted for you mate, it could have been so much worse though! Fix, better than ever, and enjoy again!
Possibly carbon bonnet but only if I can find a good quality one that fits nice. There is a company that makes carbon wings but its an American company so I'm sure the quality will suck so I'll be staying metal.
Yes, totally, done a fair bit of driving last week and witnesses this so often. Plus loads of people doing 40 in 60 zones, which is just annoying and people will try and get past if they get fed up sitting behind them. Usually they people then continue to do 40 even once they comes into 30 zones.
I'll have her fixed, might take a while though, parts are so hard to find.
It will be fixed, I have to, spent to much on it not to fix smallish bump like this.
She won't care, her insurance will be covering it. I believe its insured under some sort of company insurance but I also heard it was her sons car, her husband said he would normally have been driving but he'd just had a drink at lunch so thats why she was driving. I'm wondering if she had one herself.
I have the details of two witnesses who will say that she pulled out in front of me, I believe my insurance company has contacted them already, hoping to find out more on Monday.
Hope its all fixed in time for my next leave, spent most of yesterday trying to find parts but until I know if its being covered by her insurance I won't buy anything. If not I can claim on my insurance which will loose me my no claims but as it probably going to cost about £5 to £6k to fix its still a better option.
My RB's running 480hp and 490lbft on high boost.
Probably not, the paint is so good it wouldn't achieve anything, I would like to strip her to a shell and bare metal the whole lot but not sure I'm ready to deal with that amount of stress and work again just yet, plus even leaving out the front section which wouldn't need done again and the repairs paid for by insurance I'd probably still be looking at over £7k I would think.
