I feel you pain mate. It's ridiculous how inconsiderate some people are. I take it no one admitted responsibility? If mine can be fixed then i'm pretty sure a smart repair would easily sort that out for you.

Well I had my bumper repaired this morning by Keith from Chips Away and am really happy with the results. Saved me a world of financial pain  :grin:

I just need to decide about the grill now. I think I'll possibly leave until my first year service is due in July and get them to replace it at that stage.

It looks spot on to me Jimble. Really did a very good job matching the paint. If im being pedantic there is perhaps a very slight scarring mark where most of the damage was but you have to be close up to the car to notice. All in all very pleased with the job that has been done  :smiley:

Top job that - I'd be very happy with that.

Mind sharing how much it set you back?

Yeah no problem £110. I went to another repairer via my insurance company and they wanted to charge me £280

I know you'd have rather it not happened in the first place but it looks as good as new on the photos - the grille isn't massively noticeable either.

Bet you're glad to have it back looking spick and span again!

Very glad pal.  :smiley:. It was a sad sight seeing her injured but back to full health now, apart from the bloody doors squeaking like mad but that's another matter

Sometimes I do long for the days when driving an old car, and stone chips/scuffs weren't a disaster situation, but there's nothing like driving a nice new car, especially when it's a true next generation car like the MK7 is with loads of new tech.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
