some insurance companies are asking if you've had a screen replacement now when you go get a quote,but it shouldnt effect your insurance.

chips near the edge of the screen are harder to fix,simply because there is more stress on that part of the screen,especially if the screen is bonded(glued in)

yer i'd say he was doing you a favour when he said leave it as he would of cracked your screen if he did it mate.
at least you get some more use out of it before paying out money for a new one.

oh some insurance companies are now putting excess on chips,usually £10-£15 pounds!!!!!!

I think it's good advice, rather than taking my money.

It wont be good advice if it suddenly gets bigger and then shatters whilst your driving along . .

It's just for a small chip. Let's hope they don't try to push it up the next year then!
 :smiley:

If they do try to put it up because of a screen repair, I would demand to know why!!  :shocked:

How would you ever know anyway? :tongue:

Eerrr, cos the premium will cost more than the previous year  :rolleyes:
