Hello people, looking for some advice really, here is the shortened story.
Last Friday I parked up at Sainsbury's petrol station in their car park, poped to the cash machine, on my return an old dear was looking @ my back bumper. Basically she had backed her Zafira into my car backing out of her space, resulting in my back bumper being scuffed / cracked, also, on her making contact with my car, it has pushed mine forward into the caging around the extractor fans on the side of the building damaging my front bumper as well. As soon as I got home I had the bumper off to check if there is any damage to the chassis, after 30 mins of inspection, no sign what so ever thank god
We exchange details etc ... her insurance call me to say she admits her fault & have arranged a structural engineer to see my car which is tomorrow. I can see where this is going to go ... my car is a 2000 EK9 which at the time, I'd had for 11 days!!! This engineer is going to price this at about eg. £500 & view it as a 'write off' ... where do I stand with this as we all know here this isn't the case.
I am going to ask for work to be done at a Honda garage & no where else. Ideally I want new bumpers, I dont want them bodging up, especially the back as it is cracked!
Cheers
