Slid into another car  Looks like I'll have to try and pull the worst out and wait till I can get a new wing fitted, I doubt if the new owner will still want it so looks like it will be around for a little longer |

Looks like the buyer is still going to have the car, just at a much lower price |

They gave me three choices, 1. Write it off and get £1100. 2. Have it repaired using 2nd hand bumper and bonnet, 3. £825 and keep the car, I obviously choose option 3 as we only paid £750 for the car in the first place  |

I did mate, I said in that case give me the £825 and i'll fit them myself lol, I've already sorted the bonnet tonight ( it only needed adjustment at the hinges and a touch up pen ) I'll leave the bumper as its hardly noticble and just need to get a bit of plastic trim from the scrappy ;D
Works out we have a free car and £75 in our pocket lol

I think all the insurance firms in this country are corrupt, more so car insurers. Their rip-off Britain at it's worst.

it was too cheap at the original price without it being reduced alot more
