So had a knock in my car, it’s not serious, no damage to one else’s car/property.
Anyway, I’m going to get it repaired privately so went to two body shops locally.
I will upload pictures of the damage but essentially the front bumper has come away slightly and there is a slightly increased panel gap between the offside corner of the bumper and the bonnet, it also has a small crack. The headlight is very slightly out of position and the grill has cracked.
Fast forward to now and I have the two prices. They are similar but one is quoting to replace the light and the other said they can use clips but the cost is similar.
My feeling is to go with the replacement light (higher) quote. The labour charges are higher at the other place so maybe a better job? I don’t know, just trying to gauge opinion really. What are your thoughts?
