Anyone claimed off French car insurance ??
Got a knock on my front door tonight. The French lass who moved into one of the appartments who's parking space is next to mine has kindly reversed into the rear quarter of my car The damage isn't too bad, she's reversed in slightly on an angle, and her car being LHD mean's that she must have been reversing inches away from my car to start with, Stupid ******* Bitch !!!!!!!!
It's a MY 05 STI, and she's scratched the rear wheel arch strip, and slighty scratched the rear Alloy (Only minor). Being French, and only lived here a few weeks, her car is insured with a French Car company (Don't know which one, she has to phone Franch to get it all sent to her). She say's that if it doesn't cost much she'll pay by cash, but if not it'll have to go through the insurance.
Has anyone on here every had to deal with French car insurance companies ?? Did it all go smoothly ? Did they insist on having it repaired at a centre of there choice ?
Things like this make me wish I'd bought a house with a driveway & garage now.

To be honest, it did cross my mind, cos I invited her in to my flat so I could write down her name etc. I was sat opposite her thinking about suggesting another way for her to pay, but decided against it in the end............... I noticed the engagement ring. Plus, I didn't want to run the risk of her kicking me in the Bollox either.

Anyone have any idea how much a dealer will charge for the rear wheel arch strip, painted & fitted? I have it booked in for it's 10,000 mile service this coming Friday, so I'll get a price then, but if anyone has any idea's ???
