car wrecked PLEASE HELP
« on: 26 March 2013, 18:06 »
Hi all i have had my golf 1.8t almost a year and love it. It is Satin silver with the slight blue tint. Last night somebody smashed rear boot window and keyed every panel. I basically need full respray but insurance say they will write it off if go through them. Im in milton keynes can anybody do this or reccomend a cheap but quality place please

Apparantly a few cars over the last year have been done in my close. Quiet village too. Some even had cat removed..  . Insurance wrote car off so decided not to claim

I'd be tempted to let the insurers write it off & buy the car back from them. Use the payout to cover the cost of a respray and you shouldn't be out of pocket.
