Mrs PXW had someone run into the back of her mini clubman a few weeks ago. All very amicable, company car hitting her when she was stationary, full liability admitted, photos taken, no-one hurt, let's get the insurers to organise a repair and all move on with our lives.
The total damage, after assessment, was a new back bumper spoiler (about £85), plus a new rear numberplate, and repairing/refilling a sharp dent in the painted plastic bumper about the size of a fingernail. No collect/drop off costs - the car was perfectly driveable, so we dleivered it and collected it (only about 2 miles from home). No injuries, despite the inevitable phone calls asking about our whiplash. Not even a hire car during the period of repair, as we decided we could cope.
Anyone want to have a guess at the final bill?
