well a lady ran a stop sign at an intersection and the rest is history. Amazing what 50km/h can do to a car when you're t-boning a car *sigh*

Yea don't bother fixing a front end hit like that. Salvage any good parts from the wreck like the wheels and side skirts then just buy another one with insurance payout. |

Looks like there was no intrusion bar / foam behind that body kit?
Looks like someone tried to Chow down on your car!

What a nice thing to say to a guy that has just had his car destroyed! 
They still look like they are in one piece anyway.

Ignore the comment, he always seems to be either off humour or intentionally antagonistic. Shame about your car Alan, looked like it was a nice example of a TT. Hopefully you're fully insured and will be looking to replace with a just a nice, or nicer one!! |

thats a shame buddy. its a cliche for people to say 'as long as no one was hurt thats the main thing', but as long as no one was hurt, thats the main thing. really. |

That really sucks Alan, that was a nice soarer man but hopefully you can get it repaired or if not just part it out and put all the good stuff on another soarer. Good luck with it all mate! |

At the price used cars and Soarers are selling for you can bet they won't repair it. It sucks when the body kit gets fitted and they remove the intrusion bar. I recently replaced my kit and went back to standard front and discovered I had no intrusion bar either. |

•••• mate thats no good. hope all goes well. did you have it insured for much? if it is might have a chance of getting it fixed but chances are they might write it off... if they do you can get the money and buy it back for cheap then scrap the parts into another car and sell the leftovers to get some more money back.
either way i hope it turns out the best. |

looking at the pics though you may get out of it with just a bonnet new lights and full radiator/bumper support and cooler and pipes?
or has it pushed the radiator in and done some damage to the chassis rails? |

-Vertex sides/rear
-Steel Wheel CT12A turbo's
-Blitz Boost Controller (set to 1.05 bar)
-Apexi Pod
-IFT ECU
-Near Immaculate interior charcoal/cream seats with factory woodgrain
-DVD player, 7" motorised screen, 4" 2 way response speakers, 6" splits, 2 x amps to power speakers and subwoofer.
