vr6storm 0 Posted November 7, 2003 if they play up im going through insurance and claiming loss of earnings and whiplash as well. much as i sympathise with you and am sorry to hear what happened to your C......doing this only increases everyone elses insurance including yours :roll: ....it is also fraud(unless of course yo have suffered from whiplash and loss of earnings) and is the main reason why insurance is so high in this country :roll: just my 2pence :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beetlebug_2001 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Yeah i know what your getting at but they wont go through insurance they know there insurance will go right up and im sure they pay a fair packet already, ill try get as much outta them as i can, im still not sure what i want to do yet, i just feel pi*sed off, if i was to claim for whiplash i would need to goto the hospital and have them check me over and see if i have suffered from it.

dr_mat 0 Posted November 8, 2003 You can't get whiplash from a side impact... And anyway, yours wasn't an "impact" as I understand it, as much as a crush.. Not worth it, mate. By all means get them to stump for the full costs of the repairs from a reputable repair place (get two quotes and ring them up when you have them). But leave it at that. One thing - make it clear to whoever you ask for a quote that this is NOT an insurance job, and chances are they won't inflate the quote to ridiculous levels.. (I had £200 worth of painting done to my C. One guy quoted me £600 and implored me to put it on the insurance. Needless to say I told him where to go.)

Ice White Socks 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Beetlebug, My car was repaired by J&B Coachworks @ Houghton-le-Spring. Came back looking immaculate- needless to say I was well chuffed. I am not 100% sure that you could get away with that rear quarter- especially if its been bent in a little cos then it won't fit the line of your new door :( . Anyway thats just my thought- let me know if you want the number. Cheers Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
