What £1,900 worth of damage looks like...

[banana_hammock]

Apparently. Looks like a few panels to me!

Anyway, all fixed now, after someone pulled off their driveway into the side of my car.

who quoted you £1,900 for that were they blind ?

Are you an assessor?

Bumper, wing, door, plus paint, plus labour, plus VAT, sounds about right going off Renault prices.

I got a price breakdown and most of that was paint and labour tbh. Sounds like most of the left hand side of the car was resprayed! They've done a great job.

The parts were a new bumper, headlight, door, wing, wheel and suspension strut, so all adds up.

Anyway, the other driver admitted liability so no real drama for me.

No.

Door, wing, bumper, headlight, wheel, and strut. Plus respray and labour. Sounds good for £1,900 if you ask me.

But yeah, I agree it doesn't look much.

Younger than you to iirc.

FPMSL! The youngest? Awesome!

I'm going to PM him for tips..

Ouch !

Should have just drowned it in T-Cut. Who needs bodyshops when you have Halfords finest range in the high street !

:rasp:

does that include putting the correct bullets back on, yours appears to have 2.0 ones, probably an honest mistake.

If you look close they say 1.6

 

[Goodj]

ah yes, so they do... after extensive staring.

surprised people didnt point him towards the guide section and suggest he did the repair himself.

cost's soon rack up.. from the looks of it bumper+ wing+ door.. more than likely the foam behind the bumper to along with various clips etc.. Then add paint and repair time ontop..

Hah that would be pretty funny if it was 2.0 litre on one side and 1.6 on the other!

I was a bit worried he'd bin my RS grill but thankfully that was undamaged.
