fordnathanst Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Picked me brand new fiesta st up today and a takeaway driver smashed into it. Took out the right front corner of my car. So fuming I could cry. So its goin back to the dealership tomoro. Anyone know how much a new bumper fog light and headlight would cost. Hopefully there isn't anymore damage than that. Very unhappy right now x Sent from my GT-I9195 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Not really a lol dude. Still your insurance company or the free Ford one can sue the driver for the damages. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartynS Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 No way, an accident on the day of collection. Really sorry to hear that. As the police know about it surely the insurers will find out even if you don't involve them directly? Regardless of whether you claim or not it's still going to affect future premiums unfortunately so why not just go through the insurance to save yourself the repair cost?

Phil 87 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Sorry to hear, hope there's no lasting damage (to you or the car). Probably when ford have fixed it you won't be able to tell it was in a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Get a couple of estimates for the total cost ( not just labour) and give them to the other party and ask for cash to avoid going through insurance. If he has correctly declared himself as a pizza delivery driver ( and many don't) his insurance will already be high and he won't want it going up further so he may be happy to pay cash. If he mucks about then check to see if you have legal protection cover on your policy. If you do then involve them and tell them to pursue him for the money etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
