Dont you just love it when you come home from holiday to....
« on: 17 June 2010, 17:57 »
A massive Dent in the side of your beloved car :(




To add, the fact it was someone in your family that did it so you cant really be that angry!

Anyhu i took it took a friend who runs an insurance repair garage and asked for a quote.
Apparently it has just bent a safety rail inside the door so the entire door has to be replaced :shocked:

The quote ended up being just over £1000 to get it all sorted, even though it doesnt look that bad.

I was thinking cause its family i might just get a scrappy door and get it sprayed, or am i just being stupid and should get it done proply through insurance? Excess will be £350 on there bill.

If so anyone know's any good scrap yards near the Hertfordshire area?

Cheers

gutted  :sad:  id see if u can get one from the scrappy, no point with insurance if its cheap enough to replace. and the bonds of family might be torn due to them havin an excess and losing their no claims bonus.

but hey, u dnt have to do what i say lol
