Always good to hear from you, just a shame it feels like the clock is ticking down on your time with his car.

처리 내용

Thanks for all the comments (and the PMs with advice!) - the 75 has dodged a bullet, fanstatically. The insurer for the van driver (Allianz, who were excellent throughout) went the extra mile and ensured a settlement was paid to cover the repair and also pushed to remove the 'write off' tag at the DVLA incorrectly applied (automatically) by our incompetent insurer. My wife spent countless hours on hold with our insurers and being passed around various interchangeable underwritersm, valuers, assessors, etc, all of who didnt seem to be able to help at all. Ultimately they never called us back, over several weeks of trying, failed to follow any of our requests or instructions, and tried to slap a write off ticket on the car without consulting us and against our express wishes.Happily, Allianz figured it out and made up for the errors made!99t said: Very annoying, however given that you were getting rid anyway...Assuming the company involved will accept liability and cough up when presented with a couple of sensible estimates, I'd be tempted to fit a used light, hot air gun the bumper in the hope it will pop out and polish the worst of the scuffs away. It'll look 90% better and I bet the loss in value at the point of sale will be less than the cash pocketed re: the estimates...Exactly what I have done - rear light covered by the payout (wow these have got expensive), plus a loom and some bolts/fixtures. Bumper foam renewed and potential to repaint in future.Car soldiers on and thankfully back into service after 2 weeks. Moderator edit: no naming & shaming please
