I Crashed!!!!

Hi Guys

I wondered if anyone could help. Yesterday I did a bit of a daft thing and run my lovely Almera GTi into the back of someone. Not smart I know. Now I need to find a front bumper. I am looking for something relatively cheap but something that looks pretty decent too. As I am going to try and pay for the damage I did to the other car in the atmept to save my no claims. The bumper that is on the car is not standard and I have had a look at the internet but can seem to find anything. I am a bit new to this so not sure where I should be looking. I am also looking for a set of suspension springs/suspension kit I currently have a 40mm lower on the car but its a bit of a rough ride so I am looking at taking it up. Also where can I find dashboard led's and clock/dial faces? Anyone know a good insurance company too??

Thanks

Sam
 
there is usually a few bumpers for sale in the forsale section.

As for insurance companies, do a search mate (search function is at the top of the forum), it's been covered hundred's of times, so there is alot of information available to you.

As for spring's etc, again there is usually a few in the for sale section, as people sell the standard item's once they go lower.

Dashboard LED's can be found at any motorfactors

clock's/dials will be nissan jobbie, unless you cn find a second hand unit on here. Again make sure they are the same as some have a digital display in them (phase 2's) and some donot (phase 1's)
 
Hi :)

ooo bad luck on the crash! What colour is your car? (look for the colour code on the VIN plate under the bonnet directly under the windscreen i.e. JT3) You might be lucky enough to get one the same colour as your car to avoid respraying! Also does your gti have a bodykit? The splitters are a lot harder to source, so unless the one you've got is salvagable, you might be looking at going splitterless until your budget increases!

Sure a few people on here might have some standard springs knocking around...or sets occasionally come up on ebay for a tenner.

Also look at ebay under 'almera gti' for leds and dial faces :)

edit: here are a few links...leds http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUE-LED-DASH...ryZ72240QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

unpainted & splitterless bumper if you cant find one here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-ALMERA...ryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If your car is a phase 1: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-ALMERA...ryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hope this is of some help!
 
saw your car the other day at elvedon same colour as mine alaska blue ,check out ebay , 2 of same colour cars being broken on there ,i think your bumper was a "joy tuning" bumber,
 
i almost had a crash today too... going on dual carriageway at about 70, a woman with a family tried to overtake a scooter... and since i was going quite a bit faster, she misread the distance, and fair to say i shit a huge brick and planted foot on the brake... car shook and i gave a good beep... as i passed her i looked over, and she had the blinkers on... the bitch

if i had hit her, i wouldnt have done anything silly, i'd have been more concerned about the two young kids in the back, but people really need to indicate well before pulling out, its not the first time it's happened to me!
 
true mate, most obvious observation i make is if, your car is worth over 20k, they obviously dont come with indicators as standard equipment and drift across the lane. i could go on about loads of things but wont turn this into a motorway whine thread ha
 
Hay Guys

Hi Johny Gti let me know when you break your car. Foudn the Joy Tuning bumper Happy as F*** now.
Hay Trucker yeah I work in Thetford. I have seen a couple of GTi's on the A11. Next time give me a beep! lol.
The car is going to Scotland to get the new bumper and stuff fitted plus a respray etc. Hope to have it looking like the muts by Christmas.
I was stationary and just lifted my foot of the cluch and hit this lass in a new honda civic opps. Feeling alot better about the whole thing now was pissed earlier. As I have only had the car 10 weeks but hay ho. Looking at getting the respray done in a flip tone paint black-blue. Thinking about getting alot of things done to it now.
