Let the images speak for them self...
      The story: Was driving to my work, as ussual, the same route as everyday.. On one of the cross roads there was bicicle moving... he jumped into the main road and he wasnt looking at the right side (i was on the left), so the other car hit him... the view was horible... man was in the air about 2 meters from ground, landed on his back... and his bicikle hitted my car... the hit was so hard that you can see how it destroed my front and etc... Tomorow im going to my insurance company to see how they will react becose of my moddified bumper and etc.. let you know.. Im fu***** depresed... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Aw dude, that sucks! Yea I know how you feel. On my way to the paint booth I was in a wreck, but I had it fixed by the next morning. Judging from those pics... ehh I'd say you probably have to get (or make) a new front end. Unless you're really good with glassing in and all. The rest looks like it's easy to fix, as long as you bang out whatever got compacted in. Sorry man...

First, you dont have to tell them its a custom front. Let them figure it out.
second, just treat this as na excuse to do some changes and renew your front. |

i am so sorry to see this.
 only bad think for you is you will not drive your car for a few days. it seems that there is no parts need to be changed. its only the price that painter will want. take it easy there ll be no proplem.  ps. i made a special agreement with my insurance. not to find parts for chasis number. to find the parts that is on my car. like fmic c-one front and clear lights. i gave them 4-5 photos of my car  ( i am experienced before )

well, it is better to know insurance this was custom front  I have some connections in biggest tuners shop in Lithuania, so they will give insurance company summary how much everything costed on my car (they didnt even make anything on my car, but i know the boss there, so he will help me on this case).. So the insurance will have to look at this summary and make desidions how much they have to pay me... i think somthere near 300-600$ would be good... Cuz for this price i could get new front made, all my dings and scratches fixed and full repaint So, im waiting for tomorow, to see what happends... And Tufy i dont drive my car at winter, so im no woried about this... I have plenty of time to fix it - make it more beutiful Thanks guys for suport. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
