Hit And Run On My Discovery

Hi Guys, Just a few pictures for you after my Discovery was hit on Saturday Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry ,the scumbag then drove off !!!!.Its on it's way back to the main dealer to get it fixed.Its a shame it's happened as the Discovery was like new till this happened.Only covered 3000 miles since new and it looks like I will be claiming on my own insurance.Apart from the body work and bumper being is a mess, the right hand wheel is now off line.Lets hope i am back on the road soon Thumbs Up Paul[/img]

Good colour choice - I'm seriously suprised anyone could drive away - that must have been some impact to knock the wheel that far out of line. That must have broken a suspension link somewhere.

Make sure it gets a full 4 wheel alignment when fixed!

When your absolute utter pride and joy, that you have endlessly doted over, proudly exhibited, cared for and looked after and tried to keep as utterly original as the day you first got it ceases to be as absolutely pristine as it was, it really makes you really quite sick to the very pit of your stomach. It not only destroys your sole, but totally makes you question the worth of trying and believing in wordshiping anything and everything.

Knowing who it was, or how it happened, or even any degree of vengence really does not change things over much.

It can of course be fixed, such that no one else could ever tell any difference, but you will always know and never be able to look at it without seeing it differently.

It is only with such understanding that my heart really goes out to you rupert00

Warmest regards

OMG you bought the car to match the plants or plants to match the cars Confused

shame no blackvue installed to catch such scumbags, hope it's not too much time/material to get back on the road.

looks bad but with that colour dont rule out it could have been a rampant bull.

had rear of mine clipped out of blackvue range but then car drove past..close so obvious which car had done it. no big damage like yours.just enough to warrant an "encouragement" to be a good citizen and pay up.
 It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

Sorry to see that Rupert Sad

I'm going through something not far from yours but at least the other party fessed up for mine. Now im having to argue out where it gets repaired Sad

I reckon it could have been a transit van as the front end would be high enough to do that and push on the top of the wheel as well Sad

Sorry to see the damage Rupert, hopefully someone might have taken his details, my D4 was hit from behind whilst it was parked up in town, the other driver just looked around and then drove off, but thankfully a kind pedestrian took the details down and waited for me to return - was really annoyed D4 was only 4 days old! Thankfully one new bumper later (no other damage) and its as new again. Looks like you will need a new bumper and possibly some suspsension parts but should be as good as new then Thumbs Up

possibly, but when my D4 was hit from behind the black bumper on the p38 FFRR made the same type of marks on my rear bumper
