EP3 got rear ended

**av90** · 25-10-2011 05:44 PM

hey everyone

as title states i got rear ended by some idiot that doesnt know how to drive. anyway the rear lip and rear bar has been forced outta place, so you can see the clips have all snapped. also both parts are full off dents, scuffs, scratches.

not only did it stop there but also my exhaust muffler has been pushed inwards and bent towards the left. looks like poo. im suspecting that since i can visibly see the exhaust muffler pushed in it might have effed up the exhaust mounts/gaskets or what not.

where should i go to get a quote of the damages ?

edit: Im located in Sydney
would appreciate all responses

**av90** · 25-10-2011 06:07 PM

yeah. my insurance is telling me to get a quote from a mechanic of my choice as well as from one of their certified justcar mechanics

Sooo.. take it to a panel beater to get a quote? Or if you're looking for recommendations then stating where you're from would help.

Better hope insurance doesn't call it a write off other wise bye bye mr EP3, however you should be all sweet to fix it up without to much hassles when u get a quote let us know if there is any structural damage and please tell the repairer to use OEM bar and lip if he can't fix or use the current one

smash pit repairs at condell park near bankstown airport are very good and professional.

I highly doubt the insurance company would write it off for a typical rear end unless the structural integrity is deemed to be heavily damaged. It's "Justcars".

sorry, im located in Sydney.

blastnpast, the damage is about just a tad harder than a love tap so i dont think that would have caused any chasis damage.but it was enough to make the bumper barely hang off the car. what Poeter said sounds right.

damn insurance is taking ages to get back.

I'm with justcars and my EP3 got rear ended early august. I still don't have the car back

Parts took about 8 weeks to come from japan, then there were issues with the fuel pump as the car wouldn't start - my alarm also went stupid and now that's being replaced as well. It's a real PITA.

Takes a lot of damage (or creases in panels/roof) to write it off
