I took pics of her car and the part of her car which contacted mine and in the panic of it all, I’ve missed half the plate it only contains the first 4 characters... that’s how I know it’s CP18 but I’m Gunna try and pull some cctv from the local shop it was in tomorrow to help my argument and see if we can get the rest of it

I’m an idiot, i Only got a partial plate! I know it begins with CP18 and also the make, model and colour of the car... I can imagine it vividly now but the insurance can’t go ahead without the rest of the reg. Anyone know how I can get he rest of it tho? I did take down the ladies number to contact her about it fully after but now she won’t answer my calls or text, what a bummer 😡😡

I’m regards to insurance in the UK it definitely is a rip off and they definitely think we’re all idiots and don’t know anything about cars. I have to pay like 2000 for mine and I know most old people pay like 100 for an old banger and somethingthat I can drive 100 times better then them without sounding like a d*ck

Thanks for all of that, that explains it all really ... the insurance company are quite vague with it all but they’re chasing it up so we will see what they say from there! I’m hoping they do replace the whole bumper as like you said something has probably been dislodged on one of he brackets somewhere so a simple paint job won’t really do it... or the best scenario besides that is the give me the money myself so I can source it myself as I believe I know what I’m looking for a lot better then the insurance company 😂

Hey all, haven’t posted in a while as I’ve neen busy with work and after time fiddling with the car haven’t felt like posting much. Finally sorted out my taillights and fitted some new wheels so I’ll post pictures of that at a later date when I can. Everything was going good tho till yesterday when a silly lady not from around he area reversed into my car. Have to sort it out with insurance today but I thought I’d get some advice off your guys on what the repair process will be and how much you guys think it’ll cost. pics below

Looking to upgrade my taillights so if anyone has any or knows off anybody who is seeking any Valentin’s then please let me know! Rather it not be the smoked ones as I know it can cause some difficulties with mots so any red or clear versions ideally. Also think it suits my red car a lot more too!

Yeah I worked that one out after, read through talk of the description 😂 never thought to check the title

I’ve just realised lol, my bad 🤗

What’s the offset and diameter?

Thanks a lot for the offer, it’s really appreciated but it needs quite a bit so I’m not sure if that bottle will fill. It’s also a bonus to have some spare so I’m gunna try to find some so I have a surplus

So I need to top up my oil and OW-20 is obviously the one Toyota recommend however it’s costly and hard for me to get a hold off. As it’s a secondhand car I’m not sure what oil the car was last topped up with, might be able to check in all the sheets of service documents I have but I’m too lazy to go through it all. Will I be okay to top up with 5W-30 or will it have any affects on the car besides maybe worse fuel economy??

I have been on their site and they do seem cheap, at least during to compete with others anyway. Thanks for the other replies tho, got a long list of tyres to look at now and see which is best for me!!

Where did you get those from if you don’t mind me asking???

Just wondering what tires everyone is running and where they got them from. Looking to fit some new ones in the next few weeks or whenever I purchase some new wheels so pricing up my options now. I want something sticky and slick but still quite affordable.
