yer i know, i would pay for it but she wants to do insurance and i cant afford to do insurance as i am only 18 and got one claim already so another claim and i would have to sell my car.. i think im gonna have a word with her and get it looked at so she can be told that there is no way i could of caused that with the speed i was going.. i think she just did a slam on to get a claim for a new car, she was abit rough

Well dont let her do it on insurance - im only 17 and mine is a 1.0l so even less, but the point stands that itll send the premium sky high.

Its possible she did, but i mean you gotta get this assesed by an accident repair place. Get a pro opinion on it, then if its true that it didnt cause it rub it in her face lol. Its gotta be proved to make it a claim!

yer thats very true, i spose im makin the worse out of it atm but then the news can only be better than i thought lol...
but with ehr car bein old and banged up, it could so easily be called a write off if the damage was caused in teh accident..
i really appreciate your help mate

Bumper damage doesnt constitute a write off

Bad chassis damage, or engine damage things like that do, but not just knocking off a bumper and a replacement cross member.

Good luck dude

is that all it would be, a cross member??

Good stuff. New number plate should only be Â£10 ish.

Ye - which are about 20 quid to replace. Absolute pittance!!

Its possible she is at work - call her around 12-2ish if not after 5.30

Text isnt the way to handle things like this
