There you go. From Smashed Up, to Bruised and Battered to shiny new paint!!

I know I'd be very upset if it happened to mine.

Result! I'm very pleased for you.

Great news!

That's good news for you Pete.
As we have been known to name and shame some Insurance Co's ( to no avail!) on here perhaps you could name the enlightened co's involved in the decision to save your 2.

I did a spell with a body shop group. In terms of cost it is sometimes less of a loss to them to repair a cheap car. The numbers actually work better for the to scrap off a merc or Porsche because they can sell it off for a good price

Who's Pete? Lol.
It's being repaired by the van drivers insurance, a broker called Gladiator. There pretty good really, I've used them in the past when I've had my own vans.

Joesson · March 26, 2018, 20:15

Are you sure your not Pete?

Sorry about that Dan!
My late brother was Pete and our eldest Grandson is Dan, so all good names, as to why I used the wrong one, I had earlier been reading a post by Sombrero Pete!
Very pleased for you.

StuC · March 26, 2018, 22:52

Interesting back peddle Tony. Lol.

I'm not a Freud of self analysis Stu.

Surely anyone can see you're actually called Peat

SombreroPeak · March 30, 2018, 21:47

Oooh, SombreroPEAT! ;-)

Not guaranteeing they'll be the cheapest - but get a quote from PaisleyFreight - I've used them LOADS of times for car parts and they're very cheap! They collected and delivered a full S-Line bodykit from Aberdeen to London for less than half the price that anybody else wanted just for the delivery. Used them for alloys and tyres a few times too.

Another update, didn't go ahead with the insurance company repairing the car, I didn't trust the garage they was using, I've had a big pay out off them instead, the cost of the repair the garage quoted, kept the car also, and it's not cat D registered or anything.
