I don't beelieeeeeeeve it !!!!!
My poor car seems to have become an A***hole magnet, this one, after having a look, quickly drove off without leaving any details Luckilly I have a reliable witness who took the reg and informed me within minutes of it happening, so now I've got to go and report it. Just when I get it looking good

Would you believe the insurance assessor has put a repair cost of £700 on this damage, which has resulted in my car being written off yet AGAIN. Thats twice within a year and in the same carpark !!! The good news is I pushed the original, laughable valuation of £100 with the help of a lot of ads, photos and invoices, up to a realistic £900
Result so now I can take it to a sensibly priced local body shop and get if fixed for, I reckon, around the £200 mark. So with the last write off sum of £700 (upped from their original £280 valuation) plus this £900, I've just about recovered the real cost of the last repairs.
So hang in there Jezz, it is possible to get insurers to deliver what they promise.

good news that they have upped the valuation matey! goives you a spare bit of money!!
i recon though that if you had a pot of thinners and a rag you could wipe off the paint marks ont he panels and leave them almost un noticable! if you could live with any damage left could pocket a good few hundred coins matey! (failing thinners try a bit of cutting compound!)

insurance
Sadly due to me no longer holding a valid license the car is in my dads name but the insurance is with Highway IIRC through Adrian Flux - many detailed forms were filled out mainly due to th emods an dphotos were required but they never asked if it was a 2nd car but it is a limited mileage policy.
Hope that helps
