well today i crashed the mini into the garage door.
The entrance to our garage is quite steep, I was reversing the car up the slope, and the garage doors which open outwards were ajar!
I applied the hand brake (which ironically i was just about to tighten) anyway the car rolled forward before i could catch the biting point or brake. and i crashed into the door. i will let the pics speak for themselves:
We think a panel beater may be able to straighten the wing and front panel. I will need a new bonnet and of course the bumper, spot light etc.
One question! I have my besiktning on Thursday, and as the headlamp isn't straight i assume it will fail. also the bonnet isnt easy to open so may fail here too. What do I do in this situation?
Take the car for the besiktning and fail it giving me more time to fix it? or?
the car must be besiknad before may 1st, which is a pain.
oh and does anyone know a good panel beater in Malmö or one that is willing to come to my house for cash?

Oh man.... do I feel sorry for you!
First the undercarriage and now this......
Take it to besiktning as scheduled. Remove the chrome rim around the headlight and maybe, maybe they´ll try to adjust the light for you. As for the bonnet I don´t think they will say anything as long as it stays closed when it is supposed to.
Good luck with the repairs!

Oj vilken tråkig början på säsongen!
Får hoppas att det löser sig enkelt med reparationen+besiktningen.

Re: well today i crashed the mini into the garage door.
ouch! that sucks, I think you have to be able to open the bonnet so that they can read the "chassinummer".
just a thought...
Good luck, hope the insurence cover it.

Re: well today i crashed the mini into the garage door.
Not sure if it worth going through insurance, but i will call them Tuesday and check.
I don't want to give the car to a garage, I just got the car back after a previous accident 2 weeks ago. the garage had the car for 5 weeks or so, mostly because the insurance company took such long time to 'process' requests, quotes or even to return calls to the garage.
There is a Ditec 200 metres from our house so i will go there Tuesday (they may even be open tomorrow).
I may have Ditec do a quick pull of the dent and get the light a bit straighter.
Chassis number is also located in the lip of the boot opening, lucky its a mini!!!!

Det ända besiktningen bryr sig om i ditt fall är om det finns några vassa kanter. Såg ut som vissa delar av kromet är lite vasst.
