    So this happened yesterday :(

    Happened in a 70km area on a round about. I had the right of way so went through and some d**k in a lowered black ute failed to give way.
    So I slowed down a bit and hello this f**ker has a car trailer on the back of the ute. On with the brakes and boom. Not much damage to the trailer from what I could see, just some smashed pins as one ramp ended up dragging on the ground.
    I pulled over and the people in the ute took off, c**ts.
    Luckily I have full insurance, and luckily it looks like my projectors are still okay, but still Im so gutted and feeling pretty depressed tbh

    Here's some pics

    Yeah those guys are d**ks.
    I'll wait and see what insurance people say about the car. Most likely will need a new bonnet as this one has spilt along the front lip and its cracked in that corner.

    I gotta hand it to the guys who made these monster hoods, they're bloody strong!

    Hope they do have damage to their trailer, Doubt they had insurance aswell... Losers

    Oh gutted about the bonnet, Think your insurance would pay for new monster bonnet? You think the bonnet could be repaired?

    What happen to the cannards?

    Yeah I hope theres some serious damage to it lol.

    I reckon they would pay for a new one, but I hope it can be repaired cause then it can get painted haha.

    I was just thinking about the canards today. Thank god I havent put them on it yet haha the passengers side on would've been absolutely destroyed.

    Lol would be funny if wasn't their trailer and got to pay for the damages. Or maybe karma will get him and he might smash up his ute next time

    If you have to get other one and if it was from speedfactory, Could be bit of a wait, His shipment was meant to be in on Friday from what he was saying but would be great finally to have your bonnet painted

    Wow that lucky, I'm always bit worry about mine and would hate lose any part of my super kit haha

    Ouch, that's not good. People in the ute probably took off because they knew they were in the wrong, and didn't have insurance.

    Hope it works out for you.

    Well my day couldn't get anymore sh*t than what it is...

    Stuffed up my ankle and got a couple of decent cuts at work and just been told that there's a possibility that the car could be written off..

    Parts are up to 4k and theres quite a twist in the car so will need to be put on the chassis straightener machine, still no labour on it.

    Cars only insured for $6500 so it isn't looking good.

    F**k

    Oh gutted, Hope they don't write it off,

    Would you buy it back and move all good parts to other one or fit it yourself?

    We have your twin in Tauranga(minus the bonnet and wheels) he had look at mine while I had good look at his when we went pass each other haha

    Oh, dam I'm sorry to see that. You may be able to negotiate with the insurance company to source your own parts as most parts through parts trader are way more expensive than you can get on trademe and from pick a part. How are the door gaps? Usually if the guard to front door gap hasn't changed then the rail will be intact. To me from the photos it looks more like (due to the stiffness of the bonnet) the bonnet hinges are bent, and the corner of the Rad support may have been shifted back, these aren't majors. That bonnet will likely be repaired by the looks of it. I really hope it works out for you! Was the roundabout near any shops that may have had security cameras? perhaps one caught the license plate. I'd speak with the insurance company, maybe you can pay for a bit of it to avoid it being written off. Also the panel shop, I'm sure there is some way to save it.
