Rear Ended!
Well last night on the way home from work, I was literally 1km from home and a woman behind me wasn't concentrating at the lights as drove right into the back of me. She admitted fault but the whole process with the Dubai Police was a nightmare.
Rear bumper is ruined, passenger side rear quarter panel is buckled, boot door is damaged, exhausts are blowing badly, rear lights smashed. Just hope there isn't any chasis damage and they right off the car! Absolutely gutted - the car isnt even a year old! |

Insurance will Fu*k you no matter what. probably end up costing more if you decide to receive their check, that check ain't gonna cover the entire repair most likely, because the check will be lowballed hard and not include the supplement fee most-likely. I think BEST thing to do is actually have it repaired with original parts and have insurance pay everything

Well following Nissan stripping the back end of the car and carrying out the estimate for the insurance companies, they have said that the total damage is AED 31,000 which is approximately $8,500 - keep in mind that labour is very cheap here and I am sure Nissan give the insurance a big discount on the parts. I'm not privi to the detail of the estimate until it has been approved which should hopefully happen in the next 48 hours so I can't give you the breakdown of what is going to be replaced.
One question I have is that Nissan said they will not replace the passenger side rear quarter panel. They said its connected to the chassis and to replace it they would have to cut it out, that smells like BS to me. They said they would just pull it out and repair it. Is this the right way to do it? |

Good luck with repairs. If you decide to switch things around, Amuse rear and Ings +1 Wing and a nice exhaust. You will need to get new wheels if you go all out though. Stock wheels on a nice kit is ok but not great.

What a bummer.
Hope it all works out smoothly for you. I am sure it will but all the time and BS can truly be a drag. Hope she looks better than new when you are done. |

looks like the frame shifted from the blow since the rear pass side wheel moved right in to the door, i think the hinges where the rear chassy holds shifted and shifted the frame i think its a total, and dont they stone women for something like that in dubai???
