Also required are bumper,Grill,wing and bonnet vents.Unsure of the price of these at this time.

These are 'insurance' prices remember. If you went direct to a dealer and asked to get the same pieces fitted it would be much cheaper. Insurance companies always get ripped off and that's part of the reason our premiums are so high.

Next time you need a new windscreen ring up for a quote to pay yourself first. Then get it replaced and see how much the insurance company is charged for the same work!

...and this is why insurance premiums are so 'kin much! I'm sure some garages use an insurance job as an excuse to take the urine (and charge for taking it, too)

Yep - Insurance cos. get ripped off on repairs. Needless to say it is all passed on.

£550 for a door reshape & respray on insurance...
