Unhappy had an accident :(

Before one week ago i was leaving from a coffee shop, driving around 60km/h and all of the sudden a woman driving a trail blazer stopped in the middle of the road. so i hit her from the back!! my car is not fully insured only third part!



Parts that i need to replace:

Radiator overflow tank
Radiator core support (ouch)
Passenger Side headlight
Hood
Bumper (its repairable i guess)


Fortunately my friend is going to UAE, their Nissan agent prices are much lower than Bahrain agent. he will get me new hood, core support and overflow tank.

i am looking now for a used passenger side 06+ headlight!! its freaking expansive brand new!

this is the last photo i took for the car b4 the accident.

Man, sorry about your Z. Good thing it's not that serious.

My insurance won't provide full coverage as well. I got no choice but to drive really carefully on public roads. 10 yrs of driving, zero accidents caused. So, my insurance rate is really cheap.

sorry to hear
might as well go ahead and buy a bumper too, even if that one is fixable youll pay in labor what you could probably find one for and itll never fit normal

Pay more attention next time. There is never a good excuse to rear end someone.

Take it as a lesson learned on driving and insurance.

Sucks. At least it is repairable and you are alright. Should only cost a couple thousand dollars to fix.

Did the air bags deploy? Sucks rear ending someone, the front end gets damage so easy. Try the private market place for headlights and other little misc parts you need. The front bumper looks to be fixable.

no thanx god the air bag didnt deploy!! because i hit a trail blazer, so his trailer hitch damaged my upper parts only, the hood, upper part radiator support etc...

yeah the front bumper should be repairable.
