Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
The hurt car has returned home along with its rather ashamed driver ..
Its fair to say the picture does not do it justice! .. it actually is rather bad ...its going through the insurance, £250 excess and going down to be assessed at the repairers tomorrow ....

Sorry to hear this Joe.
Hopefully you'll get it quickly sorted without too much fuss

Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
Did it catch the wheel ?
I recommend a wheel alignment check to see if the rear wheel was upset.
In any case, bumper is a quick fix, door is repairable, quarter panel is gonna be a b****c to get right.
It will require a shop with skills rather than a shop with filler if you know what I mean

Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
Concrete post by all accounts... doing someone a favour at that too ...
The bit that tickled me was when he said "I new I hit something.. didnt know what to do.. so I kept on going" ... I was trying not to laugh ... harsh that I am ..
Anyway .. I don't have any feelings for that car/ new piece of metal ...
I was very watchful when Graeme pulled up next to Luigi when he returned home ...
It looks like a zebra up close .. the picture really does not show it at its best ...

£1700?
and the insurance companies have the audacity to blame hikes in premiums on us the public and fraudulent claims!
Over inflated workshop prices under tied in insurance contracts are becoming so ridiculous!

Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
i might be on my own here but......i don't think that's too bad if the insurance company have done their usual thing and fitted new parts instead of repairing?
did it have a new bumper, door or rear 1/4 panel?
if they just repaired and repainted all 3 items then maybe it's a tad high, but as you've only the excess to pay i'd guess you couldn't care less

Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
Really not too sure what they actually did , not seen the receipt. Graeme is home tonight so ill have a gander later. I think the majority was down to Labour charges though. I honestly thought it would have been a whole lot more than £1700 tbh.
Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
No replacement parts all labour and paint - Nero Etna, they did say at the inspection / appraisal that it was not an easy colour to match due to the flow of the metal flake on the surrounding panels.
bodywork flow looks like new, have yet to see the final result due to rubbish weather and having to be away in London for work. Will try tomorrow if the weather is kind and post my findings.

i thought as much
Not your fault of course, well, lets not get back to the initial issue! ha ha!
but even trick paint, in that quanitity, i'd guess £200 at the outside, leaving 1500 quid labour!
I know what my next career turn is gonna be!
what do you reckon Johnboy?

Re: Never Let It Be Said That ...
The car was eventually washed and looked ok , however , the next day in direct sunlight you could clearly see that it had not been buffed correctly. Its not an issue as the work carried out has a lifetime warranty. just need to get it re booked ..
