My Omega was sideswiped about 3 weeks ago. Not a great amount of damage, offside front wing reshaped and various other bits. Not my fault, the other chap decided he wanted the lane I was in, where I was.
Went thro insurance and took it to garage for price, fully expecting to be looking for a new car. Price was around £1200 and insurance said it would be repaired :y
I have to pay the excess but they phoned me a short while ago to tell me it was ready. Will fetch it in the morning.

The insurance company vehicle inspector informed me with my 'lost' CDX that they work on the principle of repairs being no more than 60% of the cars worth.  Therefore yours must be worth around £2,000 in your insurance company's eyes!! :D :D  Great result!! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

If only it was ::)
I have to pay an excess of £350.
