Bad Day!

[-spook-]

Does someone know roughly how much it would cost for a new front bumper, number plate, grills & bonnet all fitted and painted, for a 54 black/gold 182 would cost?

As today while driving to work down a dual carridge way, i had a lorry mud guard fly into the front of my car, then onto bonnet & over the roof. It scared the life outta me & i was lucky to keep the car goin in a straight line . The bonnet is f***ed! where it meets the top of the bumper it has cracked all the paintwork & bent inwards. I have loads & loads of scrathces all ova the bonnet & a few nice dents. Aslo hav a smashed number plate, one of the grills has been smashed in & thers scrathes all ova the bumper. Can't see any damage on the roof so im hoping ther isnt any.

I recoverd the mud guard and it has a website on it but its a dealership. I don't think i can make a claim as i didnt see what company the lorry was or the number plate, i was jst minding my own business takin a casual drive to work when i just saw it flip into the air & bang it hit me!!

Just feel like crying gonna cost so much to repair.

Didnt see the lorry, had a van infront of me & believe the lorry was infront of him. I didnt folow him & was lucky to keep car goin, made me swerve & i stoped 2 calm down & pick up evidence.

Did yopu get the numberplate of the truck.

You have an email address and a time it happened, pursue the company and go through their insurance!

s**t man, you could have been really hurt.
i would still have a word with your insurance, as if your fully comp, sometimes you can have two claimes without
it effecting your no claims.
