bad news.
sounds like a grands worth of damage. Its debatable whether you should take the hit or claim. Costing me £408 but it still wasnt right so i had to trade it in. The excess was £250 + young persons excess at £100 so for the sake of £58 the insurance was non the wiser and ive kept my no claims which makes a big diffence and for the future when I hopefully get a cheap new 182 when the new shape comes out.
It depends on the cost of your excess and the cost of repairs. A new alloy wheel alone is about £130 alone, plug new axle, driveshaft, possibly new spring if its crcked, axle mounts etc.
