Well after having my car a few months and starting to get on top of the problems and plan out what I'm going to do with it, some dippy twit rear ends it's when my girlfriend is on her way back from a friends. Bumper, right arch by the filler cap and rear light are screwed, and the boot has a nice scratch. Insurers are talking about a f**king right off after I drove 4 hours to get this bloody car!! Do you think they're going to right it off??

Thanks

I'm angry.....

unfortunately yes they will mate. You need to see if there is any damage under the bumper as there is a dirty great reinforcement bar under it that will bend the panel before it bends itself

If it's ok you could always buy it back from the insurers if you know someone who will repair the arch but will need to be a very good repair. Bumper and light are easy bolt on fixes as is the paint on the tailgate.

  • Back in a Mk4
As above, will definitely be a write off., had it not been for the rear arch it'd be an easy repair.

Cheers for the sympathy fellas. I've accepted that the car is doomed but still ain't happy about it. I'm going to look for another auq and will hopefully get another that isn't a POS

In the words of schwarzenneger, I'll be... Well you know the rest ;)

Thanks
