Get that insurance changed over to what ever Jamie off here recommends, there are way better policies at a fraction of what you've paid.

Bodytechnics in Slough is the one OPC's use - Haven't used it (phew) but did the PCGB tour last year.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, today was involved in a reversing slight collision :sad: 5 mph - my fault though - accident damage to the rear.
Drivers rear side qtr panel came off kaput- exhaust quad tips on driver side kaput and exhaust bent down towards the floor - scratches on main rear - can live with that.
I have taped the qtr rear panel back on and pushed the panel into clips - seems to be plastic.
Unfortunately my
insurance
is £3K excess even paying £1200 a year (43 yrs old - no old claims in past - had company car - sods law).
I live in windsor - berkshire - any ideas as to cost or best place to take too. - No police action - came but all ok :thumb:
Much appreciated for ANY help!!!!

They have done work for me and do all of Bramleys work
they have a small team who do all the ' prestige' work
Speak to Mark Smith
if your paying rather than the
insurance
may be worth trying to find a second hand rear bumper
These guys always come highly recommended and am told they will collect - they based in Luton

And I bet others, like me, are reading this thread and saying "How did you do that :? To be honest I have done the same although with less damage and it was when I discovered reversing while wearing variofocal glasses is not a good idea.
Just to throw a little pedantry in: The quarter panel is the big bit of metal that starts behind the door and constitutes the most expensive part of the bodywork to repair. You appear to have just done the PU.
If you say quarter panel when enquiring for quotes you will get a much larger number than what you really need fixed...
Hi, - i see PU? is that an abbreviation for something or called PU... :dont know:
Its the rear panel of the bodykit underneathe the lights at the rear - drivers side - thought the rear was all one piece but seems to slide and clip in - but this panel is completely *****d.
The exhaust is/needs doin straight away.
blimey-o-riley :wack: my
insurance
- have to pay other side repairs up to the combined amount of £3K. Never heard of this before - yes that will teach me to read small print!!! Compare the market - should be drag your nut across the carpet dot com - basically i have paid £1200 for a piece of paper to make me road legal - unless they think all collisions are huge ones in a porsche. Me thinks will talk to Jamie before renewal. You live and learn eh! :grin:
There are laws of miss-selling something in the UK, worth looking into but if it is in the print they are normally covered.
I will give you a call later, I am in the office until 6pm so call when I get out.

Good to chat to you tonight & look forward to seeing you tomorrow along with the nightmare!
I have spoken to both bodyshops, got Reynolds searching their stocks for the bumper, plinth, backing parts, tail & rear light. The other bodyshop will be still open after 5.30pm so we will meet there, to reitterate it is off Sugarbrook Road, Aston Fields in Bromsgrove. I will be there about 5.40pm.
I have found a rear bumper on Ebay so may go for that (£150) if Reynolds can not find one.
I will cut a sample of your bumper off to match the paint as there are a couple of variances on the Lapis Blue
So, all is looking good to get you sorted in no time at very minimal cost.
(I expect a Christmas card!!!!
)
Get that insurance changed over to what ever Jamie off here recommends, there are way better policies at a fraction of what you've paid.

Just come off the phone to Kevin at Reynolds, he said 90% of the rear enders will usually bent the cat(s) and manifold(s) DON'T let this worry you, ok nasty to take off (normally end up drilling the bolts out) I still have access to a Huth pipe bender / manipulator. I will tweak them back into place (you'll never know)
From what you said on the phone and looking at the picture again this was more a swipe across the rear, delving in deep at just after centre, running over the tail (hence forced down) & pushing the drivers side off the carrier rail. So.... fingers cross manifolds and cats will be unscathed.
