gutted for you.

but it was quite nice said lady came and told you about it. Most people would have done a runner.

lets hope it gets sorted and looking lovely again soon

 

Oh my God Your poor car! At least the lady told you!

 

Ok some pictures of the car door.

 

C&S on Sweet Briar fixed my bumpers and did an excellent paint job, they do insurance work, really nice blokes working there.

 

Cheers I will get a quote from them as well as the bloke I know that has done some work on my other cars I have had.

 

Damn..........but as Martjen says, how nice is it that the lady owned up!
I would even suggest that it may be worth her while paying for the repair rather than going through insurance (depending on cost and whether or not she has protected no claims).
Hope it's a quick and painless repair for you

 

Took it to my paint bloke and will cost up to £700 to do a proper job on it as it is the perl black and he want to make it blend in perfectly.

 

£700!!!!!!!

Whats he using pure gold paint?

Cant see the honest poor old lady wanting to pay cash for that....

 

Because the woman was nice and aproached you you could try for a second hand door?

Found this on ebay

If you get a dent free door that needs a respray, should only cost 100 quid max I would have thought?!

 

That will polish out :andburg: :bgrin:

 

What even the dent?

Could you please pass on the details of your "magic polishing machine" please? :lol:

 

Damn Mike, sorry to see, but it will get sorted:broon:

 

Really Gutted for you Mike, espically as shes running like a charm now, but sh** happens to the best of us. Hope its sorted soon!

Thanks Stefan, I went for a long drive in her today as well. Loving the sound of the car now but now not loving the look of the flaming thing. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

Oh and nice flip flops by the way :_poke:

I cant ever seem to drive in them...


Seriously though, there are ways and means to get her sorted, and be thankful it is only one door, and not scraped/dented down more panels and door etc

 

They are not flip flops so they are ok to drive in. They have straps that go around the ankle.

It will be sorted in a couple of weeks or so I hope.

 

Clearly, those are sandals. Amateur. Besides, I take mine off when I'm driving, much nicer to drive barefoot.

 

Hey! Another bare footed driver, nothing quite like it.

 

Ouch.. Sorry to see that Mike, but like everyone else is saying, it is very rare to have someone fess up like she did!

Although it would've been better if it didn't happen in the first place
