I hope they fix it good for you To cut a long story short: Van in left lane, me in right lane, me level with rear of van, van driver decides to either turn right at next corner or change lanes for no reason.... right across my front. ABS probably means it wasn't at a higher speed.I have confidence in both the insurer and the panel place they sent me to.

Though, if I was buying a new one, I'd get the new green one.Oh, BTW: I got my _FIRST_ scratch (that I didn't cause by scraping the bottom of the bumper skirt) last week. Guess where? On left of the now to be replaced bumper. Also, the LHR mag has scuff marks, from her van and <ahem> a meeting I had with a kerb about 8 months ago. Bonus.

I hope you get your car back as good as new. Thanks. The panel place I went to certainly gave me good vibes. An SS was parked out the front with similar damage, I had a quick chat with the guy as I went in, comparing notes. His comment of "At least you've come to the right place" got things off to a good start.When I asked the panel dude doing the quote how my insurer was, he said that they were the best they dealt with and rarely had any issues.From memory They will be replacing the bumper, the bonnet, the front panel, the front door skin, the rear door skin and the rear panel. They'll also fix scuff's on both wheels and check the tires plus an alignment.No mechanical damage evident. Thanks goodness. Drives okay, but 'rubs' or hits something over speedbumps.My 1200km trip to Kalgoorlie tomorrow is, unfortunately, off.Lightning....

What was she thinking? "oh, I moved right and ran into something. But that's OK, maybe if I keep going it'll move too, and everything will be fine" Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12189-7000-damage-looks-like-this/#findComment-151318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
