To look at it, the damage doesn't seem bad, but once you cast any sort of keen eye, it starts to become clearer that it's not straightforward.

Because she didn't see me when she was reversing, she hit me and then kept going, so it's not only impact damage it's kinetic as well.

I can't surmise too much I suppose, the repair will definately be into four figures though.

19.99?.. This is not an offer to repair it for £19.99.

Spoke to her insurers today, they seemed helpful, let's see how helpful they are tomorrow when I've got a better idea of the cost to repair the car.

Estimator has been and gone, definates are; wing, headlight and bumper.

There could be more once the panels come off, but the third party is going through insurance now.

Thats probably £2000 before fitting / spraying / cups of tea

then all the other bits that will be replaced behind the bumper.

Suprised it wasn't a right off

Do you have to use an insurance recommended repairer, or do you get to choose one?
