Do remember that this is YOUR vehicle..

tbh, I'm just relieved I'll be getting it back. I paid 8K for it and there was no VAT, so I'd be looking for 10k in all probability to replace it. But, yes, I'm surprised that they're beating it rather than sticking a new panel on.

Doug.. i know you are pleased to be getting it back but FFS insist on a new panel.. loads of bodge isn't good IMO..

 

[doug boardley]

I'll ring them on monday mate

 

[DHTiling]

Don't ring.. send ya lass down..:lol:..


At the end of the day doug you bought a truck with no bodge and this pee head drove into it.. so it isn't your fault and you want a bodge free truck back.. simple as that.

[doug boardley]

Doug, because of the build of vehicles now, sometimes it might not always be possible to replace the panel. it depends how where the panels are bolted together. I asked why they didn't replace the rear quarter panel on my Corsa and it was because almost the whole side of the vehicle was one panel. it's worth finding out where all the panel joins are.

do you think it'll have a full respray or just the panels (5) that have been damaged?

when they did mine, they just resprayed the quarter panel and blended it with the rest of the side of the car. and they sprayed the bumper separately. so I reckon, to be cost effective, they'll just spray what needs spraying doug 🙂
