On Thursday a Discovery decided to "customise" the back on the Scoob. I now have a rather sad looking rear quarter, no rear light, mashed bumper and lots of broken paint and crushed metal!


As it's not my fault it's all going through the insurance people (literally just finished my last claim with them...I'm NOT popular!) and they've come back with the estimate for the damage. 2.5k. Hoof. They also said it would be tricky to get hold of my rear light (WRX JDM 1994 Impreza)

My insurance people (Admiral) work on a 55% to 60% write off figure...what are my chances of this being written off with this kind of quote?

Can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop within the Saaaaffff? I've asked Newbury Len (I'm in Basingstoke) and he's no-one in mind...

Thanks guys...

 

One problem is simply solved; fit a pair of UK lights and dispense with the ugly after-market fog light. The light pattern is different so they have to be fitted in pairs but I understand that the plug is similar.
