first full day on my holiday in NORFOLK this happens , a large branch fell on my car while me and my son were in it driving at about 30 - 35 mph

 

Bugger . That really sucks! Quite a shame , but you can't plan around that happening . Hope it gets fixed. And not sent to jag heaven .

 

Sorry for your damage but glad no one was injured. A tree branch fell on my mother's car during a severe storm back in June. Fortunately it was parked with no one in it. About $1,000 worth of cosmetic damage which insurance covered. Hope your result turns out as well....

 

Oh! That sucks.

 

Thankfully no one was injured!

 

Ouch! Good that no one was hurt. It must have been quite a shock.

Four panels and a radiator grille but it looks like a straightforward repair.

Did it damage the roof at all ?

 

ROOF OK

 

thats good , saves a lot of work .
trust me i know how you feel ! it sucks alright
i hit a wild pig a few weeks back . it ran out of the bush on the side the road at pace . i think it was startled by thunder and lightning storm at the time .
any way the jaguar ate it . I'm up to $3000 so far for plastic welding, fog light. fog light bracket, fog light surround , main radiator . intercooler radiator, trans cooler brackets, lower grill, intercooler water pump and an undertay, and just need paint and the main radiator to arrive . S type r's are nasty for parts prices . and I've had to ship everything most of the way around the world . at least s type panels are fairly common and easy to source you'l have no trouble.

couple of shots of mine









yours looks worse than mine , but at least its just bolt on panels.
and a grill takes no time . i think paint will be the expensive part on your car.
. your car looks tidy enough to save . i like the calipers in green !

good luck getting it sorted.

 

yea it sucks big time won place wrong time, at least l have some one to blame/CLAIM . in ths case the NATINAL TRUST. its spoilt my caravan holiday ,, l have a mate who knows how these thing go with the insurance campanies and seems to take great joy in getting the best out of them, as l have never had a claim i am a little in the dark with such matters he told me not to worry, he'll help me sort it and make sure they dont f@0k me over

 

insurance wrote the car off so bought it back last wee, already fitted new bonnet and chrome grill, get the wing and 2 doors next week, all in silver to from local guy who breakes um

few weeks ago




today need a clean

 

It looks like you need fender and two doors. You can probably find silver ones. 3 hours labor top.

 

reread my post aready sorted, coming next week

 

Good on you for saving this car , unbelievable that thay would right it off for miner Panal damage , and no structural damage , that assessor is just lazy !
Good to see it is being repaired !

 

Well done.

 

That's because the car is only worth about £1500 max here in the UK.

 

(That's about US $2000)

 

got the paint today, when the tree hit the car it got the bumper too, not damaging the bumper as such but flexed enough to crack the paint, hoping for a couple of dry days next week
