[CU2] Got rear ended

For those of you with weak stomachs . . . look away now. I have only just gotten up enough guts to post these photos of my beautiful MY11 CU2.

Driving to Perth Monday 2 weeks ago and getting into the traffic snarl around the Thomas Road exit on Kwinana Fwy, when some moron drives straight up my clacker, slamming me into the guy in front and then him into the guy in front.

Needless to say all involved were peed off immensely especially when we found out that the guy who hit us wasn't insured and was driving unlicensed!

Here are the photos of my baby after getting towed all the way back to Bunbury. Just got word that she is a write-off and I am dark about it.

Let the comments flow . . . .

cheers

Wow bad luck... umm nice wheels? :D well at least now you can look forward to a MY12 CU2?

Fuuuuuu, when this shit happens, and its a write off, are you allowed to take anything???

depends on insurer and your policies and your car.

Seeing as the CU2 is still in production it is possible they give you a new car or just your agreed value / market value.

All my cars are under agreed value.

honda has a awsome policy that if its writen off in the first 12months, they will replace the car with another brand new one....

Don't worry the car did its job and you walked out of it without a scratch. Woohoo time for a new car!!

Not sure if trolling

He's not trolling. But it's the insurance you pay for I believe. It's not standard.

Perth drivers are the problem hey.

T.T to the car.

bloke gave a false mobile number and tried to falsify his expired license number (until I demanded to see it and got the correct details).

stupid thing is I found him on FaceBack and passed his details onto the insurer who then passed that onto the debt collector. Ever seen the Repo Guys?? I hope they roast him.

shieeeeeeet nice going

people in this world ay...

you pulling the piss? I am fond of the multispoke wheels (arranged in pairs) and they look hotter in the flesh. With the offset vs. OEM gives me an inch wider track and fills out the arches nicely. It feels like it round corners as well.

cheers

That's what i mean, you allowed to take you're afm wheels, leds ,floor mats

Okay MingZai gotch then - thanks for the kind gesture. they are from a WA mob called GMAX and the wheel is a Monza Hyper Black. They were exactly what I was chasing and about $440 a corner.

got some replacement rims and tyres to swap out my Monzas, grabbed mats and everything else is a bust. Boot lip spoiler creased, sports grille cracked. :mad:

I will likely go for a modulo front bumper / sports grille to sharpen up the front end - not a big fan of the face lifted front end on the MY12-13.

cheers

I wonder how much that guy needs to pay off?!

Around what speeds did this incident happen at? 100?

Would be nice to see the damages to the frame; the subframe and the boot area. Just curious, isn't it possible to get it repaired? front - New subframes, grille, bonnet, bumper, back - bumper, boot...?

Poor CU2! :(

mate i would want a new one after that damage.

it's nto exactly 'unique' like an older car

I estimated I got hit at 30-40 kph - I was stationary having just come to a stop. The quote was for around $28-29k, however the assessor was not completely happy that the economics justified the work. Sad, but in a way happy that I get a clean straight CU2 from the factory again. Trouble is 6 spd Luxos in white are not that common . . .

would it be possible to buy the car back cheaply, and wreck it?

or is it not worth it?

Wow, I thought the CU2s were nice and sturdy, by the close look of it (Since they're so much wider and bulkier than the previous gen Euro!) (Serviced a few)
Would take A-LOT of yanking and hammering of the frames to repair for the panel beaters, if it was being repaired!

surprised its a write off, the damage looks repairable

how much was the car insured for? airbags go off?

generally they replace new for old with ultra new cars

and that damage looks quite significant

i'd rather have a straight one out of the factory TBH

Crumple Zones - they work.

Yeah, getting a new one is def the better option. Although if you could buy it back for cheap on top of that, it wouldn't hurt either. I mean especially if you were going to give it an aftermarket bumpers, lights and grill.

Sorry to hear that Jones. I'll stop whinging about my fried altenator after seeing that. As for the douche bag that could have killed someone, we have to share this place with em unfortunately ....

Ta mate. I'm sure he was on his phone or something. I saw him barreling up behind me and I just thought "crap I am in for it here . . . ."

The biggest hassle is being without a vehicle and the length of time it takes for quotes, assessors, replacement vehicles, etc, etc, etc

unfortunately it is a lease vehicle, so SOP is lease company buys out lease, takes ownership of wreck (disposing of it in the meantime) and I have to organise a new lease (which I am in the process of doing now).

Oh yeah. Air bag didn't even go off (guy who hit me did though). The radiator was a mess and was pushed back onto the manifold. Not sure whether there was damage to the engine mounts. The rear doors were out of alignment, front doors were okay though.

someone that doesn't like the face lift yay :)

Oh well,I am pleased you will be getting another brand new Euro,better luck this time around...

thanks mate

when I bought my euro, it comes with free honda insurance under GIO and for the first 3 years if you are still with them, they will replace you with a brand new vehicle if you write it off. After the 3rd year, I change to another party as they are cheaper and since they dont give replacement if you write it off.
