  Nothing I can say

[amigov6]

Well today whilst out shopping and having mate chuntering away and me ummm well i new i was close but not that ""BANG"" ""SCRAPE"" close....

T-cut and a quick polish or insurance write off.....what do you guys think.

:'(Sad to say you've f****d it. the scrapes are too deep.

Cheers The Boy that does make sense thinking about it....still hopefully whilst they may charge hopefully shouldnt too much more.

Still if its written off new Omega....lol


 amigov6 should know tomorrow after ive visted the body repair folks....i know what im hoping for

Looks like it might be Polar Sea Blue in which case it should be written off, especially if the tailgate is in good nick.

Problem with damage like that is the labour charge, on a new car it would be a replacement panel, on an older one they might choose to weld the cut and repair with filler or lead but in either case the hours add up and make it un-economic.

Its a dark green....

Well if they repair it i will insist its perfect and i do mean perfect or will refuse it.

Cant see it being repaired though.....still should know soon.

Well i went to see the body-shop the insurance company told me too see and im not impressed.....i was told that if they repair the car they will simply re skin the rear door and fill the deep gouges with filler,i assume the split in the rear quarter panel would just be filled too as the chap stated they wouldnt be cutting the panel out and replacing.
The black plastic (sorry cant think of its name) that runs under the sill will be repaired and NOT replaced....the drivers door will be sprayed although there's nothing wrong with it as and i quote ""the colour difference would be too noticeable other wise"" to which ive asked how noticeable and he said well if you look at one side then the other they wont match....What the f@@k  

Left there not a happy bunny.....then had a call from the same body shop stating the work will cost £1400.

So fingers crossed they offer to pay out instead of what id call a bloody bodge job.!!!!!
