Crashed my Yaris - Few Questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks for the responses guys.

Got it back today. I don't think the engine was damaged in anyway as far as I can tell. The car certainly seems higher than it was originally but I think I'm imagining this? The rear wheel arches just seem so far away from the wheels. Must be my mind, right?

I did notice that the front splitter thing on the bumper is missing:

It was definitely there before the crash.There is now just an exposed bit of metal. Have the garage simply forgotten to install this piece? What can I do about it?

One other last question too. The new radiator that has been installed, will it be an official OEM model from Toyota themselves?

Also, the water pumps just gone on it since getting it back pretty much. Could this have been related to the incident or just bad luck that it's chosen to fail right now. I mean, it is a serviceable item that needs to be replaced every now and again? Is that correct. Car has done just over 60,000 miles.

Thanks guys and sorry for all the questions. Just so you don't get the wrong idea, I plan to work 2 jobs (one daytime, one evening time such as bar work) and pay my parents compensation for what I've done. £2,000 should cover the loss of value to the vehicle I've brought about, yes?

Cheers.
