Hello, long time lurker and I've picked up some great tips and ideas over the last few years so thanks for that.
Even sourced my M030 suspension and exhausts from the classifieds on here.
Just 30 minutes ago I've been involved in a low speed accident - followed a young lad into my estate when he decided to stop, select reverse and drive straight into me. Continuous blast on the horn made no difference. Even after the impact he continued trying to reverse!
The rage has subsided enough so I can post a quick couple of questions.
He's basically admitted fault, apologised a number of times and was white as a sheet. I have his reg. number, car type, mobile phone number and my daughter has found his FB profile.
As a young driver he's concerned over making a claim on his Insurance (As the father of a similar aged daughter I get this) and he's asked me to gather a rough estimate of costs of damage with the possibility of him paying rather than going through the Insurance companies.
I'm aware of the pitfalls involved but could anyone give me a rough idea of costs for parts listed plus fitting?
I'll ring my local Indy tomorrow so this is just to give me an idea.
Thanks for any help (and advice re: the claim - I'm fully expecting this to go through the Insurance to be honest).
Drivers side headlight.
Side repeater indicator.
(Possibly) drivers side wing.
Front bumper/PU (looks like a C4S or Turbo PU but fitted to an 03 C2).
Paint to match.
Thanks again.
Pissed off that my first question is because of a pointless little scrape.
