Sorry forgot to say the Golf is recorded CAT S. who knows why 🤣
Do you need to promote multiple ads every single video?? It’s so annoying
The videos are becoming in unbarable as it’s nothing but advertisements/promo on top of UA-cam’s ads.
Cat s because of the rear wing is part of the cars structure I mean it's pretty obvious

@@FennyYT I don’t get adds
Keep it, fix it, raffle it, run a poll see how it goes.
Good Idea.
agree
After the Leon nightmare Dean deserves an easy repair so I thought he should keep it, but like yor idea more 😎.
I agree fix it and raffle it 👍
No need
Come on Dean, get it fixed. That's why I subscribe to the channel, to see you repair cars, not flog them off.
Couldn’t have put it better myself, starting to think this channel is going more money based rather than salvage repair, unsubscribed
That to costly and cat s will devalue car massive he possibly only get money back that why sell it now make profit by doing nuffing
@@Blupa.I’m sure you’ll be missed…
@@Blupa.he’s gotta make money uno wow people like you think everything is free and the guy ain’t allowed to make money or something
The honest thing to do is replace the quarter panel. Pulling it out and reshaping with a ton of filler is just back street garage stuff IMO
Why not offer it to the Salvage Rebuilds UK team (Rob and Chris), this is right up their street. Be a good channel tie up.
I was thinking the same thing
Thinking the same too.
An easy fix for chris.
Definitely agree!!!!
I think that you should do this one and prove how much a scam insurance costs are in this country
nah dean you have got to keep it and fix it, i think its still good content, its all about saving cars and we want to see how you go about fixing the car. besides there is a healthy profit in this one...get the bloody thing fixed
Keep it, would make a good series. Everyone loves a hot hatch
SS has an RS3
Not only better by Badge but Engine capacity.
No to the Haldex 😂😂
Another vote for fixing it, Dean... 👍 Be really interesting to see how cheaply this could be fixed properly for... maybe then monster it (500bhp+ and those alloys!) and raffle it?
Either way, keep up the great work, really enjoying this channel! :)
17k wow .....I'm hoping you can get this put together relatively cheaply given the make / model let's just hope there's no surprises.....
Good luck 🤞 as per . .thanks for taking the time to post x
My son reversed into our neighbour’s car. Insurance claim was for over £4,500 as two new doors were required. Once the car was repaired we noticed that the original doors were still fitted and were repaired and painted. Yet the original quote was still paid out.
Completely normal for repair centres to claim maximum for new parts then do basic repairs
@@trealin4730 Yup, and just one of the reasons everyone's insurance is so high.
Was the doors made out of gold
@@Dannyfu849zub😂😭😭💀💀😂💀
Need Chris and Rob (Salvage Rebuilds) to buy this... work their Magic 😎
Send it to bodyshop for what you can't or don't want to do, then make this a 500BHP beauty.
😬😬
Giving it 500 bhp would make it virtually unsaleable.
Fix it and keep it standard would be a quick turnaround i reckon
Would of liked to see you fix this dean 👍
Definitely fix and raffle it off. We would like to see the repair.
I would like to see you repair it! I would be interested to see which way you would go with the 1/4 panel.
Keep it mate! A related anecdote, my mate’s electric Merc got rear ended like this - he’s been driving around in a BMW 5 Series provided by the insurance company for over a month with no news of getting his car back (apparently waiting for parts or something 🤷♂️) any time soon. That’s gonna be in the cost of the claim obviously.
When it comes to any damage the insurance company always sees dollar signs 😂 that is one stunning car and won't take long to turn around at all
I'd keep it Dean - nice little car and if you can get rid of that Leon asap, might help. Don't worry to much about "too many VAG Hatches" as its all great content and you're a master at that stuff.. Given the damage, it doesn't look like it would take much to get it back to normal tbh.
I think repair it and raffle it off its a good spec car and something that everyone likes plus you have fun in them Dean
Love to see you do this one and save it 👍
It is a clear situation, you have to fix it. Lots and lots of viewers want to see you fix this car. Me included. The Seat ia almost done, so on with this Golf. Love to see this finished. I wish I could participate in the raffle, but I dont live in the UK...Kind regards Martin. (the Netherlands)
Definitely keep it it an repair it!, would love to see you do the panel repair on that quarter
Dean, Golf R content always does well on YT.
As for a change from hot hatchbacks, How about a Range Rover Sport or Discovery 4 to repair.
Not range rover sport load shit goes wrong air ride suspension and parts so price won't money there waste of money
If I had the money I’d be buying that, wouldn’t be a fortune to fix even if a new quarter was needed. Great savings over non damaged.
KEEP IT DEAN!!
It's Liam from Ireland again lol
Im fit too Cry..there's no damage too the Car and even if there was a little you could fix it with a Wave of your hand. Sorry Dean but you know what i mean. Your a Genius at this. I laugh when you say "Im no Genius but it doesnt look too bad" too me 😅😅. Anyway thats a Nice Car and i cant Afford anything like 😊😊. Im looking forward to seeing whats happens to it. Q.Are those Raffle tickets valid for if im here in Ireland. I hope so because im getting some tmro. Great Video Dean 😊😊
Everyone's saying repair it !!😊 Agree with them ....just do it and others have said a Collab with old Matt A ....think you're going in the right direction as him....he's a nice guy as well . Keep it up 😊
Cheers Dean, I was waiting for you to say,”Do you know what,I’m going to repair this!!!” 👍👍
I said it in my head… but I need to finish what I’ve got and I’ve already got another vehicle waiting in front of the golf.
Fix it!
Put it on the back burner if needs be but defo fix it and raffle would be silly not to
I think keep it and raffle it. Be a interesting repair if the rear quarter can be pulled rather than replaced.
Dean repair the golf r will make good content
I would. But as mentioned I feel like I’ve done too many hatchbacks at the moment. Plus I have another Interesting vehicle ready to go!
I’d still say fix it and raffle it
A Tr hamza and calv would be a brill collab with your channel. All lovely fellas too with no UA-cam bull sh*t drama.
They include cost of hire car paperwork etc. it cost 7200 to fix my car and 7800 for car hire charge then towing and admin on top of that. And that is why so much gets written off! Go figure….
I'd like to see you repair this, or alternatively sell it to Salvage Rebuilds so we can still see it being repaired.
It's got Chris and Rob written all over it!
Just came across your channel 👍👍 new sub hear great vid cant wait to go through your previous vids 😜👍
I say fix it, raffle it off... Will make good content regardless!
Keep it bruv. I really enjoyed the 7 GTI you fixed.
Cool video as always 👍. As for the golf you should keep it pal.
Keep it and fix it. Nice to see a car that is more cosmetic damage than engine damage. Would be an interesting video as not the normal issues.
Would love to see this one put right and up for raffle, beautiful car looks spot on in white
Do your magic on it Dean, repair and stage 2 it. Then raffle it off. More top content for us 👍
You will find as the rear wing is welded on, it is classed as structural, and they would allow for going on a jig, although it wouldn't, and they would quote for a new cill, ,,,
Lovely piece of salvage Dean, keep it, and repair it, BUT. Try and get videos of the repair for the channel, it would also help the bodyshop out,
I think you should fix this one If i'm honest! Keep it, it's very clean
this would be great content seeing you fix it Dean,,👍👍
Yorkshire Car Restorations ( 6:04)👍👍 Make it better than new. Look at what they are doing with Mat Armstongs E34 or the " Disaster Datsun"😳😳
Exquisite track @ 10:58! Excellent vid as usual!
Thanks again!
I assume that is the cost of the claim as a whole. Imo it needs the quarter and sill and 2 doors, rear bumper and all the paint as written on the car. Of course it's not impossible to repair quarter but it wants replacing.
No wonder car insurance costs are going crazy!! Would be good to see you repair it and in comparison to some of your projects would thnk this would be quite a small job?
Loved this video Dean👍👍
It’s a buyer for me, but sadly I’m snowed under right now.
Keep it, repair it and raffle it.
You know you want to 😂👍
You should definitely repair this yourself and show how much it costs (and how many hours) to compare against the £17K insurance company assessment.
It’s a 17k car wen it’s fully working and looking smart so don’t get where they got the figures from
you should fix this one,, would be very interesting to watch if body shop would pull a lot of that damage out
Keep it dean, you know you want to. Move the gti on.
What is that high pitched sound at 4:54 when starting the car? Curious because my Audi S3 makes the same noise, and it had me a bit worried.
This golf R would make a good series! Don’t do what u think, ask us the viewers what content we want to watch
This is why we pay so much for insurance!! The repair costs are just insane.
I would enjoy watching you repair this car
Id like to see you fix this up,would be a quick fix and a nice car once repaired
Think this was on the forums online, shame about the motor seemed like a solid motor before the crash
I think the insurance just quote on visually as in from first impressions it looked like the back end was a right off and chassis may have been affected?
Would like to see you fix that one Dean!
Would be a great raffle car to have as stock for the channel
Nice car I would buy a ticket as you say east repair for the amount of car you have there, 👍🏻
P.S where’s the TVR ??? 😂
You should do this one, you could title the series “perfect beginner fix” or something like that
Get those parts ordered Dean and get it fixed!! You know you want to stick the Golf parts in it.. Oh she'll look sweet with those alloy wheels on her. ;)
My wifes Audi A3 CAb had similar damage and the reserve put on the repairs was £7052. Has been fixed but don't know the total paid., had complete rear 1/4 panel fitted.
Tailgate is shunted slightly to nearside? I would get a bodyshop basic quote and then see what margin you might have left.
Keep it and fix it Dean, it'll be an easy repair. In the words of Shed n Buried SPQR small profit quick repair !!
The rate that insurance companies are writing cars off would seem that they are in cahoots with manufacturers. Or might it be the government wanting to bring EVs in and get the older ones off the road so insurance helping out?
Looks like an easy enough repair for a body shop and certainly not £17k. I know the insurance companies used to use second hand parts too as that’s what my car had when I got mine done years ago.
What’s with all those containers? Do you rent them out as storage? How many do you have and how much income do they generate?
Any good a welding as i just got a car and it's got a hole next to the jack point and MOT is next month and with out this car I can't work
Defo keep it and fix it lovely bit of salvage
Would of liked to see you fix this dean
@Dean if it was intercepted before being written off why is it a Cat S. Plus I think you should fix it then raffle it or sell it on.
That’s a very good question. Car Vertical says it’s not been written off. So I may need to look into that more. I was told it was CAT S.
Would it be hard to sell if it had the bits from the Gti? It would be a clean title 500+ hp car...
Fix it up definitely 👍
Wow I think these is less work on this than there was on the Seat. Looks like all it needs is a trip to the body shop to sort the rear quarter and sill. And you need to do is bolt on a bumper,inner arch and trim panels.
Could be fun series you might be able to start here. Where you somehow find cars that are about to be written off which you might deem as being silly. Intercept it buy it, fix it and show how ludicrous and over the top insurance companies are by showing true cos to fix some of the cars they write off. And also which would do really big for views and media growth is to shame which insurance provider that assessed the cars as "write off's" (but would speak to social media manager/ solicitor about naming insurance companies). But something like this would gain traction an spark wider debates about the UK growing issues with insurance companies.
Originally from Glasgow area. Damage doesn't look too deadly.
My dad had a new xc60 for 5 weeks whilst waiting for a replacement wingmirror on a 2005 touareg. Insurance put down costs of £4,500!
Got Salvage Rebuilds written all over that one! "8 10 mills 1 quarter panol and lets crunch the numbers"😉
Hi What's it recorded as on hpi?
Please fix it dean .. love this channel
Dean get a white door and bumper from breakers pull the rear wing and repair seal job done money for auction
Definitely keep it and make it a 500hp beast 😁😁
keep it and fix it! we want to see it!
Get it repaired. It makes great watching!
Raffle it off make a great beginner repair for someone, keep up the great content 👍🏻
A bit beyond a beginner if you ask me.
Done similar on an astra with no experience,bought a welder puller machine job done 👍🏻
Only true when we see pictures of your work gezdipz5425 otherwise you fixed your pink mounting bike chain
Will have to check to see if I still have pics lol 🤣
Why did the insurance wanna blend the near side quarter?
would love that nice easy repair
What you after if you sell it???
Keep it! Fix it love a Golf R build! 👍 make it a animal!
I would keep it and get it done after you shifted on and done couple of cars your doing at min 👍🏽👍🏽
No wonder insurance costs keep going up
Keep it. Fix it. Mod it. Job done 👍
Auction it off as is Dean. 99p a ticket 👍👍👍
i would suspect that the official VW repair policy would be to cut out the quarter sill and maybe the boot floor- so that can be most of your cost- saw a Volvo with about a 30cm dent in the quarter, because of the boron steel it needed a quarter and it was around 10k CND
Has this been sold ? I could be interested
Would want to see you fix this
If the vehicle is going to be repaired using new parts by a accredited repair garage that follow repair methods then yes the bill is high. My issue is that the industry I am in we have to follow repair procedures that back street garages don't follow but yet insurance companies still sell the salvage to any bugger.
Fix it raffle it we love seeimg these hot hatch videos❤
