Lol got it in august and already been rear ended and shunted in to a van, then this lmao.

I'll get some better pics tomorrow but front near side quater has a large dent, back bumper has pinged out (zip tie will sort that) and a series of dents down the back quater, managed to dent my petrol cap and cant get the fooker open now lmao. Im just worried about the front bumper for now so its road legal again, got a dent puller in the loft so will deal with them when at a later date. Feel naked without a car :(.

I was more concerned about the airbags deploying car would of been a write off lol.

Toyota want the following:

Front bumper unit (primed only): £193.62
2no. Rubbing strips for front bumper: £32 each
2no. fog lights: £104 each
2no halves, plastic splitted to underside of bumper: £90.83 each

Total: £593.28 before fitting and spraying lol.

Dont want to put it through the insurance because its £250 excess (£100 'young persons') and then lose my 3 years no claims. Going to look for a bumper at the weekend and stick that on, as long as its driveable I dont care at the minute :)

Very true mate, im grateful I mate if out in one piece. Got the bumper back on and the gaurds etc this morning now the car wont start. Ignition comes on, radio come on, but half of the display doesnt and the glow plugs dont click. Then when I try and turn the ignition to fire the engine it just makes a clicking sound and the dashboard light just flashes :(

Dude, I think that car is jinxed. Glad you're safe though, that's the main thing. Dents can be fixed!
