Parking car ripped my baby's headlight & front grill apart - gd garages Oxford?

(1/4) > >>

teige:
I love my TDI 2.0 GT 140 BKD, sad to come home to find this today.
Driver who did it was trying to park ahead entering forwards, and caught my corner on their way in. It's on CCTV and they admit responsibility & left a note, phew!

Something on their rear corner must have caught and pulled hard ?? Headlight pulled out and the mounting places that the grill and bumper screw on to are torn away.
So it's a little bit more than new headlight and front bumper, grill.

Anyone know what the inner member with the torn mounting points is called?

Anyone able to recommend a bodyworks in/near Oxford to try to get this repaired by?

Also does anyone have advice what I should do about insurance & claiming? I've been driving less than 2 years and never had to deal with them. The driver said they'll settle off or on insurance, and I have a good policy myself.

Cheers folks, new experience to me I'm a bit lost and want to be driving my baby again :sad1:

Sorry that’s happened but good that they’ve admitted fault. As they’ve left you details and admitted fault then I’d claim via your insurance. It won’t affect your NCB and will ensure you don’t get embroiled in a cost argument if the price is more than they were expecting. You also don’t then need to work out which body shop to use etc.

Thank you man, appreciate the advice!

Doesn't look too bad - It will need the front slam panel replaced - the ripped-out sections cant be glued back in
