scott87 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Came back to the car park today and have found that someone has driven into it. The wing is bent and the bumper has been pulled out and has a crack in it. Thankfully i have a note with a phone number! Can someone estimate me a repair cost please so i can ask for that amount. The wing can be bent out i would imagine and the bumper is repairable but both will need painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You may need to look for under body work damage too. Get it to a shop and get an exact quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay200bhp Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 how do you expect a quote when you may not have described damage truely ...you need photos fella...or its a waste of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I meant a quote to have a wing and bumper sprayed. In terms of repairing the bits the wing would need bending back out so its easier to just put another one on. The bumper is cracked and been pulled away at the light so im guessing the fastenings have been damaged too. So in reality i guess just replacing the bits would be best. Just concerned about the colour not matching :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Pics would help! Nah, pics are over rated as a means of assessing the damage. From the sounds of it, you would be looking at £400 to 500 depending on the size of the dent. Our Celica got clattered last year and my bodywork guy repaired the wing for £350 and that including spraying most of the front bumper which has existing laquer peel. You should count yourself lucky he or she left a contact number and didn't just drive off. Wow ! I'm surprised someone actually had the decency to leave details, every other tossed just drives away. This, depends on if they were seen. I've had a couple of incidents where a woman clouted a hire car I had parked on a side street and she waited 45 mins for me to return. The other one was were a "well to do" woman in a Range Rover, drove into a car on ASDA and saw me watching. She put a blank note on the windscreen thinking I would be fooled. I checked the note and gave her reg number to guy who's car it was after she'd driven off. Sneaky cow paid up after the guy dobbed her into the Police and named me as a witness. H.

JasonR24 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Agreed 1k is a royal rip off I got my wing, front bumper and sills done for under 400. 100 quid a panel I think it was the rough guide. And it was a really good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
