Hi all,

First post on here, and seeing if anyone can advise really. We have bought my 18 year old a Fiesta Titanium 2018 Diesel. Unfortunately he has had a minor bump in it. We have paid up the other driver as we don't want to go through the insurance due to his age / experience / no claims etc. Anybody had a similar situation before and therefore wondering where the best place to buy a new bumper and front grille ? I do have someone who can respray and fit so just need the parts. I am Warrington based.

Thanks,

Thanks,

You should be informing insurance company as a "notification only incident". If you don't and they find out a future claim could be denied and cover cancelled. 

You can’t really win there. If you tell them as a notification only they might still hold it against you and do something nasty to you. They may well justify it by saying that a personal injury claim might emerge from it later on. The law allows people to claim for personal injury up to three years later. (Or up to their 21st birthday if they were under 18)
