my uncle came over for weekend and as i was at work he parked on my drive.
so i parked out front, the woman who lives opposite reversed out and hit me.
luckily it was only the door she hit, she kocked at door and was nearly crying.
her husband came round this after with all insurance details as i recon it's gonna be £1k+ bill.
s**t happens. it's officialy up for sale once its fixed. possible whole side resprayed.

Ah well, at least they sound like decent people...unlike uni staff who reverse into your car and then speed off

they'd have to atleast spray the wing and either the rear quarter or at least blend it in, i think my local bodyshop is roughly £400 pound a panel, so id have though 1k yeah

im sorry but they dont need to blend it in. if you are paying top dollar ie insurance ensure they custom match your paint
