I've written my G off! :(
« on: July 13, 2013, 11:19:53 am »
So,

the one time I'm driving sensibly, I wasn't speeding, I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't be, a bell end in a 11 plate E92 BMW pulls out on me leaving me with this....





I'm genuinely gutted! I just hope it an be revived!

Mechanically it's sound, I just hope it's only panel damage an the chassis legs aren't damaged.

The chassis leg is bent unfortunately :(

PeteG40,

I bought it from a guy in Barnsley and he said you serviced the charger on it (H757 WNP)
What sort of condition is it in?

Gutted for you mate, looks like a clean g. Hopefully it can be fixed. Check for cracks at the bulkhead end of the chassis legs.

invest in a stage 2 subframe and bolt it up too the chassis legs, you can see if theyve moved then

My G40 didn't end up going to the scrapyard yesterday as I went away. I have all the bits you need to fix this (In Red).

Do you think having a stage 2 may have saved the chassis legs? or helped them not crumple so much?

When mine was crashed last year the car bent around the frame damaging the A pillar. If theres no damage as far back as that it can probably be jigged. Proper bogus though chief.  Don't let insurance company take the piss!
