Zorg Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 It can be repaired. Shouldn't be more than £350. Done properly you wouldn't notice it had a dent. Request it to be pushed out rather than pulled out. Don't like holes drilled n pulled. If you are protected you shouldn't loose any no claim and it shouldn't go up. But might aswell repair it without through insurance. They'll cat. D it aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 The repair may only be 350-500 but don't forget to add your excess costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtoycelica Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 If it was me I would take the inside panels off and see if u can push most of the dent out then leavin the inside stripped out should save a bit on the labour for a bodyshop to finish it off. Just an idea I would use a peice of wood and try roll it out might make it less damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yeah I agree with Red. Get it stripped out and push it out. You may also be able to inflate a football behind a support beam to continue the contour. I've done that a few times. Its the ONLY reason I own a football Lmfao.

GT Bob Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Bad news that mate,accidents happen but it's infuriating when they do a runner. Have any of your neighbours got CCTV,might be worth asking round to see if they have picked anything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorg Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) The repair may only be 350-500 but don't forget to add your excess costs. If you are talking about insurance fully comprehensive covered, you pay the excess only. Otherwise it defeats the point.

Devious Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Yup ... re reading my post I nominate myself for douchebag of the day I meant that he will have to pay his excess. Not forgetting the premium increase. Edited March 2, 2013 by Devious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
