Any idea on what kind of work it's going to need? I'm hoping that it's just cosmetic damage?

Depending on the price of the diffuser then maybe a couple hundred/

One phone call to Admiral, the car is booked in for an estimate on Monday, & I apparently get a like for like hire car whilst mine is being fixed :smug:
I think the bumper & diffuser will need replacing and the exhaust checking over.

She still insisted on tailgating me closely after that too. I just slowed down and let an ever bigger gap than usual in front so I could brake gently if the traffic stopped again.

It makes me want to let them do it.. then accelerate faster than they can.. then let them catch up
.. then repeat until boredom sets in, then move over and let them do it to the next person who is massively holding them up.
