mike-p 116 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 After rebuilding the front of the car last year after the off at Snetterton, with most pleasing results, my wife reverses into the front of the car this morning at the same point the damage occurred. A day before our 42 wedding anniversary. I haven't bought her card yet, doubt I'll go out now to get one..... Anyone want a slightly dented GT86 Cosworth? And a 60 year old newly divorced wife?

mike-p 116 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 She's damaged the new front bumper, fog light assembly and it looks like the headlight is dinged too. £3,000 job straight off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 I feel your pain. The Citroen is coming back from the Bodyshop today with repairs from my wife's two separate reversing incidents... Wallet £600 lighter... There goes the 'new wheels' budget... Plus the 86 has a scraped bumper thanks to an incompetent Frenchman. Not fixing that. It'd only happen again...

I got her to phone the claim in to Direct Line and get their 3rd party team to deal with my repair. It will still cost £350 for the excess, but at least both cars will be fixed. 1 Mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
