So last week I'm sitting in traffic (one day after I took out my new insurance policy) and someone drives into the side of me, there was not too much damage but it will need a new door, paint on the front wing, new mirror and paint on the side skirt.
The car is only a year and half old and when I come to sell it on its going to be a real pain to move on and I'm going to lose thousands off the value, Who wants a high end carbon fibre car that has been in a accident?

So I got to thinking maybe its worth claiming damages from his insurance company, after all I was not at fault why should I suffer financial loss because of this.
Has anyone every successful claimed damages for loss in value of a car after a accident? Or am I best being a greedy git and I should leave it alone.
So far I have not taken a hire car because I have my fiesta but the summer weekends are here and I want to take road trips
