Hi guys,
Me again. It's my car. After the incident we spoke the LRM's editor and he said "get a quote, it's what we pay insurance for". He's now saying they accept no responsibility for the incident but has sent me a letter asking me to confirm some details (ownership, me being legally allowed to drive it, road worthyness etc). I'm having the disclaimer looked over by my uncle (he's a solicitor) as from what I remember from my Law lectures at University you cannot exclude liability for negligence. I have photos of the damage, the recovering vehicle with so much mud on the back it is impossible to see out of it, some eye wtinesses have come forward on another forum (some with photos IIRC).
For the guy who asked what £3K's worth of damage to a P38 looks like, it looks like (all need replacing):
Front bumper
Bumper brackets
Bumper supports
Bumper seal
Grille
Right headlamp assembly
Right headlamp trim
Left front blanking cover
Right front blanking cover
Right front indicator
Right front wing
Left radiator seal
Right radiator seal
Lower airduct
Radiator
Oil cooler
Intercooler
Bonnet dent removal
Plus labour, paint shop charges for the bonnet, wing and trim panels then VAT on the lot too
