had a little scrape the other day in my mates van with a 306, only minor damage to the car. i.e scratched rear lense ,paint scraped about the size of a fist. i offered to pay for the damage(thinking it would only be £100) hes come back today with a quote of £550 is he taking the mick. cos my bmw 5 series didnt cost that much last year for 4 tyres and a service.p.s its now 3 days since the scrape and hes not reported it to the police where do i stand as i wasnt insured for the van i was just dropping it off at a garage... cheers
painting cars aint cheap mate, sounds a fair price to me, if its damage to a rear quarter pannel you will have to paint the full pannel, about £100 for the paint and materials plus labour costs plus vat. plus removal and refitting of a bonded 1/4 pannel glass at about £60 and replacement of the lamp if it is unrepairable.
only choice you have is to pay up mate cos if you dont pay the cash then he might wonna go down the insurance route an as you didnt have any the police may get involved then your in the doo doo, as you may get done for driving without insurance. it is not a legal requirement to inform the police of a incident as far as i know,
