crash

Hey Long story short, my parked 2011 Ibiza was hit by another car bending the front wheel out. At a quick glance the bumper is misaligned, and tie rod is bent like a banana. Not sure if anything else is damaged. Insurance offered a total loss full pay out, or a partial pay out and retain the...

I've scraped a high kerb and almost annihilated that bit. Wondering what it would be called to see if I can fix it myself. There's no damage on the door itself. Thanks

Hi! I wonder if anyone here can help me. Got in a bit of a tip recently, no engine damage but the airbags went off. I'm just trying to compile a list of what parts I need (there's an identical mk2 for breaking close to me that I can gut) I'll need a bumper, bonnet, wing, headlamp, that's all...

This is why we can't have nice things... Brighton is full of a-holes - I've never had so much damage on my car. From scrapes on bumpers to people hitting the driver's side while turning in the road. This is the latest. Someone drove into the back while the car was parked, splitting the bumper...

Right well basically had my first snow driving experience today and it wasnt good managed to slide into a telegraph pole and have damaged the front crossmember/slam panel/crumple bar whatever you may wish to call it, at the moment I have had to remove it and refit the bumper so i could drive it...

My wife was driving the car to work this morning when a driver overtook on a bend and met oncoming traffic. As a result her car skidded under braking left the road and stopped in a ten foot ditch helped by a tree! Car is right off but did everything it should have done crumpling up at the...

Bit of a long shoot but has anyone got any pic's of the front crash bar that Forge supply with there FMIC kit ? I could also do woth the measurement's of where I need to cut an OE crash bar to make it fit. Ideally I'd like to get the crash bar ready before I strip the front of the car to fit...

Hey guys. I had a little accident last night, but to cut a long story short the steering rack has snapped at the wheels, so the wheels move on their own with no way of me controlling which way they face. Had a hell of a job getting the RAC guy to get it back to my house. I was just...

Just bought my new Ibiza from Hobins of Manchester, very pleased with the car, drives really nicely, 2 years old with only 10K on the clock. Part exchanged my VW Golf 05 2.0 SDI with 72000 on the clock and a fair amount of work needing doing to it (needs a whole new grille and back bumper +...

Hi Forum. This is a damn bad day. Some idiot drowe out on front of me, and i nearly did breake enough, but only nearly. My front bumper is ruined, so i have to find a new one. I am offcause the owner of an insurance, but if i can find a styled front bumper or a bumper from a Cupra or...

After owning a FR TDI for just under a year I must admit I'm finally fed up with the harsh suspension, it's fine when I drive it alone but to see friends and family being thrown about and losing their fillings when driving on all but perfect surfaces has become tiring. I have owned a Golf Mk3...

so i crashed the other day, not much damage got pics .... so took it all off, went scrappers and then got there, looking for the front end, thought polo was same, so lookin at that, its not, so founds a corby (1.6 with aircon lol might nab the whole system for mine lol) trying...

I have owned my FR+ for just short of 2 years, and never had a problem....until now. Whilst modding the airbox ( a few weeks ago) and putting a large airfeed on I noticed the two adjuster brackets on top of the headlights had snapped. Fair enough I thought, it might have had a slight dink but...

Hey all - never been a big poster, but some of you may recall I had a yellow Seat Leon Cupra (1st car in UK to have the now common Inovit Spin alloys!!) Well, i wrote it off in October (day of my brothers wedding!!), and have now finalised the order of my new car - it arrives on 1st march...

Well hello there folks! IM BACK!! As im sure some of you know, I wrote off my beloved Cupra in bad weather 2 months or so back :( I paid 10,400 for it 2 years ago (54 plate, only had 9k miles on clock - guy wanted rid of it ASAP!) and got paid out 9500 by insurance - so im cheesing! :D...

Just wondering if anyone has any advice.... I was driving on the inside lane of a duel carriageway doing about 70 when a women in the outside pulled back in front of me, managed to cover both lanes so i couldn't swerve round her and braked so i drove into the back of her. It was approaching a...

This might seem a stupid question as well as a pointless one butt.. Does anyone have a picture of the crash bar that forge supply with their FMIC? In particular the rear of it? As im in the process of fitting my own FMIC but oviously need to modify the crash bar to fit it so was wondering...
