it really depends if the coilovers are salvageable to be honest. I would love another one as a track car but without the coilovers its pointless. I don't want to spent a huge amount on my track slag. as im looking to get another car. Im not sure what car, I will be getting just yet as I have not been paid out and im not sure what they will give me for the car but what ever they give me it will never be enough. The amount of work that has gone into this car is endless.

cheers for the offer but some one is already sorting it out for me
 
Was really sorry to hear this the other day Daz. Really sorry for you and the project. A great loss here :( Hope you bounce back strong though mate, I know what you're going through.
 
really sorry to hear this mate, and i'm glad all involved are ok and no serious injuries were had, your car was a real inspiration to most all n16 owners on here and to see it like this just weeks after the photo shoot and the possible upcoming mag feature is truly gutting :(
 
Damn shit!

I'm sorry to hear that Daz.. wish you all the best getting it sorted. Good Luck pal.. hope your well tho and wish you a speedy recovery
 
Thanks to everyone on the club. I was wondering how much would people settle for if they was in my shoes. I am unsure what I want to settle for. considering all the mods are declared through insurance and im not at fault
 
Always happens to those who least deserve it...

Glad you are ok though mush, thats the main thing.

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
 
Holy fuck Daz, gutted for you mate :(

The front driver coilover looks bent :/

I hate to say it but you wont get much, if any back for the mods. Even though they're declared they arent actually covered like for like :( id be suprised if they even offer you £2k.

But as already said atleast you're still here, cars/parts can be replaced. Keep your chin up boss.

We had this discussion with sky a couple of weeks ago, say you have a standard car with a book value of £1000, then you add £2000 of mods, they wont pay out £3000 in the event of a claim.

Plus it wont be sky paying out, it'll be the other guys company.

Thanks for your input. I will be argueing the toss over it as to replicate the same machine will cost me at least 5k in mods.
 
Like for like on mods though they should at least cover some cost there. Otherwise I still don't see the point in these specialist insurers.

I hope you get a good result Darren, but it generally ends in the modded car owner being shafted :(

if I was at fault I can understand but im the one not at fault. I will argue the toss over it because im not letting any insurance company take the piss with me.

if they do turn round and say its worth 3k I will tell them I declared the mods so they are insured in a event of a accident and not just for fun. I paid more to insure them so why don't they pay me out. whats the difference in being not declared if im not going to get paid out
