it's happened again  , for the second time in as many months my car has been crashed into whilst parked
it happened at the corsa sport meet on sunday, a golf reversed into me, his foot slipped off the clutch so it hit me at about 10-15mph.
pics of the damage:
the light (depo ) and bonnet are fcked and the bumper will need repainting, my grill is broke and the upper slam panel is bent.
fortunatly the guy who hit me was sound and paid in cash for the damage.
so it's booked into the bodyshop for Friday. it's having front and rear bumper + irmscher lip resprayed, arches and skirts resprayed,
drivers side quater panel is having the two dents taken out and repainted and im finally having my badboy bonnet painted.
should look pretty swish when it's done, also i'm hopefully going to get all the parts, that aren't getting resprayed, mopped so the whole car will look fresh.

£500 in cash, which should cover it.
this time next week it should be done 
jay: mint just roll round mine after work, and yea that 1.8 bravo was slooowwww.
i was just so relieved the guy was sound, didn't really want to have to go through insurance as i was worried they would write it off, which would be silly as its mainly cosmetic damage

Scary thing is that's almost happened to me a few times, I'm left struggling to keep my foot on the clutch and probably look like a proper twat
Hope you get it sorted

that is a cracking idea! (no pun intended)
and yea he just handed it to me yesterday in £20 notes , i think he was insured just didn't want to lose his 2 years NCB which is worth alot more than £500 i should think.
yup it's going to be mint for pvs hopefully!
and for all the afore mentioned work im getting charged £600
