Gutted for you mate. As said, be a picky fu*ker when it comes to accepting it back!

Imo is it worth doing that little dent and gambling the colour being wrong?

If you want the other side doing for juts the dent and painting either side of the door then ££££'s!

It really bugs me though :( all because some Cnut threw a bottle at it! :( it was perfect before that!

They just rang me and it's booked in for Wednesday it's going to Renault S J Cook and sons accident repair centre so I will have a word and see what they are going to do!

Roll on the pictures of my hire car lmao! :)

This sucks :(. Hope it all get sorted out properly though mate. And do be picky! I was when they did mine and it paid out. Can't wait to see it back looking glorious again :)

Yeh I will do :) the company I'm dealing with say the strip down and check the car for any bits that may have also been damaged when it got hit!

I will inform the garage that the whole side will need doing!

Will the skirt also be sprayed in with the rest as mine has got a little scratch on it ever since I've owned it that has bugged me! Would be nice to get that done! :)

thanks for all your support! :) I will keep you updated as and when I hear anything! :)

Tell them the skirt was marked in the accident, it's inline with the damage really so it will be done.

Don't forget you are the 2rd party here and the car will have to be mint.

It's to low and the skirt above it wasent marked! I'll get them to sort it out! :) yes the car will be mint before I touch the keys! :)

On the subject of LY, what would you guys think about a bumper that's got a fair amount of stone chips? Due to the colour is it best to get a pro to touch them up, or full respray?

(Interesting to hear the difficulties of LY).

Just get it resprayed, you won't notice any difference in colour unless it's really bad.

Plastic to metal will always be slightly different to the pro eye tho. So platic wings are perfect!

gutting, surely the urge to floor her was there.

Haha!! I put her in her place! Her husband stepped out the car aswell!!

It's all booked in for tomorrow and there will be a hire car waiting for me when I get there so we will see what I get tomorrow!! :)

Update

I took the car down yesterday! Spoke to the bloke who authorises all the repairs! He said it will have a new door, bump strip, wing mirror cover, window reg sorted! Full O/S respray and N/S/F wheel refurbed. Will go over it with a fine tooth pick to make sure it's perfect! So will await the call :)

On another note here is my hire car ;)

Ouch! Gutted for you!
I remember seeing that car up for sale when I was looking around for mine about 2 years ago now!

And as if you got that as your courtesy car! I got a bloody fiat bravo 2ltr turbo diesel, fail!

Yes the clio, I remember the plate on it. I bought mine in June/July 2008 so would have been just before then, I think it was up for quite a high price, I nearly went to view it as well, but decided I defo wanted RB even though I do love LY!!

Small, doesn't look like a camera = Ownage

Or go full on nuts

My only concern would be incriminating yourself, however the next time some bloke in his mid 40’s driving a Mondeo with 8 kids in the back gets the hump and trys to race you at least when he crashes into your pride and joy he’s left out to hang.
