Hey there!
So I joined these forums a little over a month ago but so far haven't shared any pics of my baby as she's not in the best of shapes at the moment...
To cut a long story short, one night back in January, I was hit by someone who ran a red light. Fairly low speed collision, point of impact: front corners. Car still drives, steering is straight, no leaks etc but front bumper (Mk2) is cracked + the bonnet shifted about inch and is jammed shut.
Insurance have offered 4200?. The dealer and insurance costed the repairs at 3800-4000 (french dealer prices = ???) and that's basically just new bumper, bonnet, wing, headlight and labour, i.e. there was no check for more serious damage underneath. The problem is they cannot get the parts.
I'm trying to decide now if it's worth getting the car repaired myself for less or to just let them scrap it. I'm wondering if I would have the same problem finding parts?
I know full damage can't be guessed by one pic. but for the main body parts, how easy would they be to source in Britain? (bumper and wing seem to be the most difficult to find) or would I be mad to try to undertake these repairs at all given the the settlement offered by the insurance? I like my ZS and don't like seeing it go off the road for what seems like such minor damage!
Hope you all had a good Paddy's Day!
