Oh dear, had an accident!!!

[N8_172]

Oh dear, life in my 172 was all good until I had an accident yesterday! I basically went up some womans ass (Doh!!). So she needs a new back bumper (New Daewoo), cant remember what car exactly!! My bumper might be repairable, but I think Im looking at a new front bumper.

The point of my post is, who on the forum has had to have their 172 bumper replaced? I know for fact that a new 172 front bumper is £200 + spraying + fitting = ??? Just wanted to know how much Im looking at?! I know I should take it to a Renault Repair Centre to get a quote but its not driving very well, and I havent got the cash at the minute to fix it, so has anyone done this before?

Thanks

u shud pay her cash instead of goin thru insurance, a new bumper on a daewoo im sure is no more than £50 painted

 

[N8_172]

Im not going through the insurance!! Im 20 and my excess on the 172 is £800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[boyracer666]

sh*t

wot u paying for insurance? wot NCB, company etc?

 

[N8_172]

Not sure the total amount around £2,200, sutin like that. At the moment, Im 20 with 1 yrs NCB. When I renew in November Ill be 20 with 2 yrs NCB, so the insurance should be less harsh then! As you can see I cannot afford to claim! Otherwise I would sell the car!

Mate she may try and sue for whiplash! Go through your insurance or you could be left with a hefty bill!

Unless damages on bith cars are more than "only" bumpers, go to an agreement with the woman.
