The bloke next door reversed into the front wing of my scooby last night!, He is a mate and and at least told me! all this happend in the local pub car park............... He has excepted blame and the insurance is happy......
The car has got to go into the bodyshop on tuesday for a quote, Does anyone want to hazzard a guess as to the cost of the repair?





The front wing is dented as you can see, with paint falking off, but the plastic bumper is also scratched, Any ideas out of interest?

I'll post up the cost when I know it,

swifty.....!

threw insurance if they fix by poping it out about 3 if they replace maybe upto 6

Id expect a wing & paint (about £100 for a panel of good paint). Is the lacquer damaged on the bumper?

N*UFO

The bumper has scraped through to black plastic, but only a tiny patch,

I would guess at a few hundread quid plus 20 quid for a good valet

The wing shouldnt be repaired because the swage line is damaged: also a new wing costs much less then the labour to repair would be. With regards to the bumber Id have him (the point here is the cost of him to repair without claiming Im guessing?) pay 'LittleLnocks' to repair it as itll cost much less than abodyshop will want to mess about with the whole panel.

New wing and painted £500 through insurance.

Cash sale £400.

Depends on how they blend the colour in to the door???

DJ73

£575.00 ?

GeoffMM

is it really worth him going through the insurance for the sake of £500 when it means his policy will go up next time
????

Yes, if its a mate why not get a quote for repairs before involving insurance. Might be a better solution for him just to pay for it.

Don't know about your mate, but my excess is £350, plus they'll whack at least 10% on his premium for the next few years. Almost certainly cheaper to keep quiet and sort it yourselves.

He wants to do it through the insurance and thats fine with me, Paying someone cash for half a job with no comeback is not an option,

The excess is for repairs to your own car. There would be no excess to pay if claiming off the other guys insurance.

I thought my scoob was dirty but damn...

Also straighten up your tax disc

have you looked into the effect on your insurance its no claim not no blame, if it was me there is no way I could would go to insurance for that but I am 22 so you probably you have loads more no claims discount then me …

andythejock01wrx

Nope . Since you have the T/P details and the other driver has conceded liability, this won't affect your NCD. If the T/P insurers formally concede liability to your insurers now, you will be able to claim on your own insurance without paying the Excess.

o ok thanks andy

Nae bother !

Some twonk opened their door as I was driving past their car last year. Your damage looks very similar to that on my car. It cost around £600 for the claim, plus hire car while mine was away in the body shop. Just hope the repair is as good on yours as was done on mine!

N*UFO

Thanks, I am hoping for an A1 repair!, As for my car being dirty there cant be many of you from the country! This time of year is SUGAR BEET time, which means at the very least a light covering of sh*t/mud at this time of year for about 8 weeks,

Us simple country folk might have dirty cars, but the driving conditions really do make us much better drivers! LOL

Have been told by some one in the trade thad a grand would be a cheap job....... Cant wait til Tuesday!
