<ouch> Crashed my ZT
Coming off a roundabout early on Monday morning onto the M4 at Swindon. Classic Mini Cooper trying to go right in the left hand lane and I just didn't see it
Not happy. £350 excess (as much as I was paying per year!) and having to drive a stupid Citroen C1. Red paint never matches properly either assuming they can get a Mk1 bumper.

Sorry to see that and it's sad to say and I know it won't help but that is probably beyond economic repair for the insurance company.

It's just the bumper and some trim as far as I can tell. I'd be surprised if that came as a write off.

It's never nice to see this but hopefully it'll be a simple repair.
On another note when my Rover 400 was scratched, I had a chips away guy respray the wing and the match was spot on. It was Solar Red too so there is hope for yours. Rik.

If this at £90 all in or this at £99 + £34 p&p are the right shade of red, could well be an easy and fairly cheap fix?

That's a bummer! But I'm confused about how you managed to damage that side of the car when if the other car came from your left, (N/S) and crossed in front of you???? I would have expected damage on the N/S Front corner..... But it doesn't seem like a write-off!
Good luck. |

Unfortunately I still hit him so I becomes my fault regardless of what they did.
I'll have to see what the accident repair place comes back with.... mine has headlamp powerwash; is it still the same bumper (bar drilling holes)?
