Crashed my polo...

Post by neap38 »

...Last night into another car. I'm new to the polo scene and only passed my driving test last week. Overall my car came out worse than the other car.

The front left wing has been dented and scratched and the headlight on that side has also smashed.

As i'm completly new to all of this could anyone give me a rough estimate on what I should be paying to have a front left panel completly replaced and sprayed?

Also, where could I find a second hand headlight from?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear about that dude...so soon after your test aswell :(

Secondhand headlight is either a scrappy or ebay, or you can look to pay in and around £70 for a new headlamp.

As for the panel, I wouldnt be sure. It should only cost less than £100 to be sprayed. What colour is yours?

Just not your luck mate, same happened to me soon after started driving. Max for spray should be £100 (depends on colour and if metalic). Think I got quoted £90 for a primed wing off of E-Panels, can't remember.
