    Excuse my ignorance but I'd have thought the complete opposite. A stone hitting the windscreen would have cost £10 excess to repair or £60-£70 to replace and your insurance wouldn't have been affected.

    Not 100% sure about Fords but front fogs normally come as sealed units ie you'd have to purchase a brand new unit.

    Perhaps one of those online breaker yards might be able to help / reduce the cost a little. Just had a look at flee bay:

    Might be of some help to you?
