Sucks. I had a kid in his mums civic back into me while I was sitting in my car out the front of work. Kids was as high as a mother fucker. Had him caught very clearly on works camera footage and the footage from the tenants opposite. Of course kid tried to deny liability. I placed the video footage on YouTube, set its rights to private so it wasn’t indexed by YouTube but I could share it. A day later the insurance company comes back of course finding in my favour. Interestingly the clip was viewed 43 times. Did the insurance company staff pass it all around between themselves for a laugh I wonder.
Week later I get the mother on the phone sobbing that the excess was 4700 bucks, kids second claim inside 3 months of driving, he’s been declared uninsurable and her policy has been cancelled. I explained how one adaptive xenon headlight was the best part of 3 grand, bumper cover was 2 grand unpainted, bumper carrier 900.
Explain paint and fitting is easy another 2 plus a hire car for me, and I’d be defecting it in a heart beat if paint finishes didn’t match, e65 plastic to metal paint match is phenomenal, a level of quality and workmanship never achieved again, I’ve never seen an F01 or G11 series with paint that matches as well at high noon like E65’s does.
Ironically some muppet put a scratch on it in a car park 2 weeks after getting it back right on the front right corner again, about 60mm diameter, I chose to ignore it.
A dash cam that’s always recording is the go.
