The "what have you done to your DC5 this weekend" thread

Doubt they will to be honest mate.
Inner wing bent right in so it fouls the tyre, bumper hangers and mount points snapped, light and boot look screen wiff, so no sure about the inner rear damage, camber so far gone theres suspension or camber arms damage and the obvious rippling up through the rear quarter to the passenger door.

I'll break it now I think.

Got a brand new front end on order too typically, so will offer those at cost here first before trying to make profit on eBay.

Sorry for the loss mate , your luck can't get any worse tbh.

What's the plan after the teg's broken?

 

[Johngreen537]

Another one mate. I feel at home in the TEG despite all their compromise.

:-( not good mate - such a shame after all that hard work also. Can you not cancel the order or too late?

 

[Johngreen537]

The dealer stated that because they are special order items they can't be cancelled. I've already paid up front too, £2052.

All relatively useful parts, so sure someone here will make use of them all, pricey but genuine and will be ready to go so may save someone a 6 month wait.

On here I'd do cost prices to the community, bit would need to make more back on eBay to cover fees and all that.

Just gutting really, it's only plastic and metal though, easy enough to replace.

If you get a new one, it may be worth keeping the new front and refreshing the one your going to have rather than sell it on makes more sense as you have paid for it.

If you decide to go a different colour though thats not going to work :/

Gutted for you though bud. Not much luck of late.

I can't believe what's happened... gutted for you. Happy to see you're gonna get another though! Onwards and upwards from here dude

 

[Johngreen537]

Yeah, got my looking eyes on and really fancy one in particular, but just need to wait and confirm i'm right about damage really.

 

[MissMyDC2]

Sympathies. It's the time it takes up doing all the chasing and messing about. Not to mention the inconvenience or losing something you have put a lot of time into.

Usually works out financially beneficial. But what an anus. Hope your luck takes a turn.

 

[Fez]

Thats really crap news feel gutted for you!

 

[Sonny1]

Ah mate I'm sorry to see that. Really gutted for you 😔

 

[Dazaturbo]

Damn man!!!!

That is some proper bad luck and an absolute shame because it looked stunning before all this 😔

 

[Johngreen537]

Yeah, very gutting really. Just have to start again is all.

I'll be breaking as soon as I get confirmation what the insurance company wants to do.

Gonna kill me to dismantle it, but, will need to claw back some money.

That looks like a nice motor

 

[Johngreen537]

Anyone who doesn't press the courtesy car option on the insurance quote, the £23 extra or whatever, is paying dividends now.

Slightly better than a fiesta
