sorry to hear man...doesn't really matter what speed your going in the snow, it can still get you somewhere you don't want to be

Hope your OK and the damage isn't too bad.

Well the bonnet seems to be ok but as its 1:30 am i cant really tell. If thats the case then i hope the slam pannel is ok and the bumper just took it all. The projectors are fine which was my main concern.

Oh man... That sucks! I hate the snow too. It's not Celica-friendly. I'm snowed in at my house right now. I can't go anywhere. If I tried, I know I'd end up a lot worse... Hopefully you can get that fixed pretty cheap. Since you weren't going too fast, it might not be too bad. And thank god the projectors survived!

>>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>

You trying to give me a heart attack first thing in the morning?!?!!!

But yeah, looks like a new bumper and probably crash bar. Might have to get it sprayed as red is hard to match....

On the bright side, no more stone chips......

man that sucks ass.

Im so sorry buddy. First thing i checked was the projectors and they were ok....then i was like...shiiiiiiiiiiit luke is guna be pissed!

Haha i was thinking exactly the same about the stone chips! If im really lucky just a new bumper will sort it but need to have look. It still drives ok and didnt see any steam so hopefully the radiators ok.

so sad reading that... damn... damn white dirt! I have it as well... Still it seems like "professional crash". Headlights are ok, foglights ok, bonnet seems to be fine as well... and if airbags not blown it's still not that bad.

Yer i almost did exactly that this morning. Freakin cyclists don't realise that it's hard for a car to avoid them when going round a corner sideways and they're in the middle of the road. Like everyone above says the damage seems confined to the front bumper. Did it bend the chassis bar thing that the radiator fixes on to?

Tom88

#21

Just got the bonnet open....only bumper and crash bar damaged. Anyone got a preface lift bumper in red for sale?

#22

I say it's time for an upgrade. Get a facelift bumper! Although I do like the look of the pre-facelift on Luke's car...

Bad luck!!

I know how you feel, believe me. I crashed my Celica just last week. Just waiting for the engineer from the insurance company now...

Think it's gonna be written off tho as need new bonnet, driver's side wing, new bumper and driver's headlight. Managed to source most of the parts except the headlight!! As rare as rocking horse sh*t!!

Good luck with the repairs mate.

Well i sorted out the new bumper on saturday with Dan23 from CCUK.

what a fun job fittign the bumper was, we had to cable tie the pipe for the jets out the way, and cable tie the fog in for now, its all gotta come off again for the re spray so it doesnt matter, whats important is it doest look terrible now.

and of course i couldnt resist getting a little photo shoot

EDIT : I dont know if its just my screen but the car looks sorta purple...i assure you all its still very much red!!!!!

you stole my picture you little swine

no its looks more pink to me in MY pictures, but ti is actually pretty red in person.

So luke i saved you old car

manphibian

#30

Saved it?!

Did you try to pop the old bumper into shape? It kinda looks like all it needs is a kick to pop it out?

Look forward to seeing it resprayed, in the mean time, get the polish out boy, it looks dull as hell!
