Hit the sack the moment I reached home so only got around to posting this when I woke up....
Anybody driving along Dunearn Road (towards Upper Bukit Timah Road direction) noticed a really bad accident in the middle of the road? An Audi A4 was totally smashed in it's rear - the whole boot and bumped disappeared! One of the most serious rear-end accident I've ever seen... and to think it wasn't on the expressway too. A comfort taxi was the offender... no big surprise eh? he must have been speeding to have caused such a great impact, especially on an Audi no less, and in the rear which is usually the strongest part of a car's structure! An ambulance was onsite as well. Sigh.. the roads are becoming more and more unsafe these days. |

it also makes more sense for the front to be strongest as it is nearer to the driver and the engine bay...the boot still got a bit of leyway for crumple zone....
hope all are okay.....

Looks bad to me. Not sure if your engine is affected. The chasis is definately affected. Need to pull your chassis, need to realign your car. Your radiator should be damaged. Need a new bonnet, new bumper, need to knock, repaint. Need a new headlight.
I will say 8k-10k possibly at mistubishi. Workshops should be cheaper by 1-2k, depends on how much was done. This post has been edited by Icetrap: Jul 23 2008, 11:20 AM |

chasis seems ok to me... but need further checks...
for sure new bumper new bonnet.. new radiator perhaps... new headlight new signal lights i suppose the drive shaft and steering arm all ok... if chasis nothing and only repair my above mention shouldnt be more than $5000... gd luck bro.. its generally not that bad...i've seen worst... dont take it too hard sh1t happens... i totalled my ride before... make sure u change tyres...  maybe your tyres CMI liao so cannot brake in time...

i dont think radiator block kena from the extent of the damage to the front bumper... road surface wet hence cant tell if there is leaking fluid anywhere beneath bonnet. But from what i see got 3 panels affected. Out of which 2 are very expensive to repair, change better. The left fender still can be salvaged. Left "eye" gone case.
One eye cost smelly smelly at least 200. Panel beating plus polishing and buffing for this extent cost at least 400 for 1 panel each Replace panel cost 400 i think Then still have to test for body shell rigidity and degree of flex. Realign wheels... hmmm how come SRS airbags never deploy sia...
