Hello all, now before I start, I am not a scammer or a b**ch but I just want some people's opinions on this before I do anything.
I was driving earlier on today on an A-road at 70mph when I noticed the car infront of me had it's hubcab wobbling quite severely. Having been in an accident recently I just thought i'd put the car registration in my phone just in case the hubcap of the car did come off and it didn't stop or whatever. So anyway about a minute after doing this, off it came, smacked into my front bumper then went under my car and disintegrated into bits. It hit the front of my car quite hard so I undertook the car infront, and slowed down and essentially made the other car stop as well. Upon getting out I explained that the driver's hub cap had came off and hit the front of my vehicle and I wanted to check the damage with the other driver present so on the hard shoulder I had a look and noticed (what in the pictures doesn't look that bad) a noticeable scratch or 2 on the bumper and a couple of little chunks out of my splitter (highlighted in red). It had also pulled the splitter very very slightly away from the bumper (again hard to see in the pic). The other driver apologised and I got the details but said I would try and T-cut it out in the morning, although it doesn't look like it will buff out or anything. She said that if it doesn't to ring her and we can go through the insurance so I'm just wondering if I should get the front bumper resprayed and a new splitter at her cost? Also from looking at the picture whether the insurance company would deem this necessary due to the damage? To some of you it may look like nothing, but I care about the car and the scratch and little chunk out of the splitter bugs me a bit knowing it's there. Thoughts?
