Been Reversed into!

Update....
Car is being assesed at the garage today. Driving round in a Fiesta Titanium :sad1: Super super quiet, could blow the clutch pedal to the floor, everything is mega assisted, light and fluffy.
On the plus side it cost less than £25 to get back to camp, normally £35 in the Cupra lol

Make sure it is done properly under insurance. That way, you can refuse to accept it until it is perfect. I have seen some excellent and some downright shoddy jobs under insurance, but you CAN refuse to accept it if the job isn't done right.
I got hit by a bus a few years back in a similar spot and the claim was going on so long, I just bought a new wing and tyre, repaired the bumper and did the spraying myself. It looked perfect but after a few months the new tyre was wearing badly. I got it all checked out and the track controlarm was totally bent and needed replacing. It's the hidden damage that's the costly stuff! If it's done by the insurer, you always have come back... which I didn't :sad1:

....Light and fluffy as in chocolate mousse lite, being extremely light on taste! Give me the rich dark chocolate naughtiness every time! It's worth paying the extra in fuel.
Our modded cars spoil us for average factory cars.

Im fairly confident it will be okay. The garage knew the insurance engineer that looked at the car today and said whatever it needs just let him know and he should be able to authorise it. Having the geometry checked as id had it done an hour before the accident and it doesnt feel right now. I think shes reversed into my wheel aswell as wing.
The bent wing caught the R888 a few times over bumps / dips etc so if there's any damage to the tyre I think I should ask for a pair of tyres, its going to be looked at anyway.
Relieved its getting sorted
