Lo guys,
Had someone reverse into me while they were parking yesterday. I have had some guesstimates done up at MB Mitcham and an Independant garage and they are in the £600-£700 at MB and the independant said he would get back to me. MB think the front bumper will need replacing even though the dents on it are about half a inch (something about not repairing plastic) and also it seems to have pushed the bumper in slightly so the bonnet is not sitting flush although the bonnet isin't damaged. They say the headlamp looks alright but they can't be sure until they take the bumper off.
Question is for those who have had similiar accidents, what would be the best course of action ? I don't really fancy paying my excess which is quite high £500'ish as I am off on holiday soon and although I will get it back would rather spend it on booze and partying there.
Can I claim it off there insurance ? What would be the best course of action ? He did admit liability on the scene and I do have a couple photos and a witness.
Thanks !
