    Re: Accident

    I would have asked a garage to check there is no other damage to the vehicle before cancelling the claim to be honest.
    Does the door still open OK?
    Do the windscreen washers still work? (some vehicles have the bottle underneath the wheel arch liner)
    Are you and any passengers OK?
    When Gold isn't enough, there is SA Gold! New to the forum and find the UE route a bit scary? Take a look at my diary here and judge for yourself. I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.

      Cheers Vossy, it's a Rover 25 and yes panels are a bolt on jobbie.

      Missy, door opens fine, washers fine, no passengers or injuries.

      Car drives fine so just happy to get it over with to be honest, better to cancel the claim than have no car, not ideal but there you go.

          Re: Accident

          Here's the result of my 1st rudementary efforts with the dent today. I couldn't get behind the panel as one of the screws holding the guard behind the arch has got a knackered head, so have been pulling rather than pushing.

          Although it doesn't look pretty, it's come out pretty much level at the arch at the arch to where it was previously, albeit there's still a dent above. Hopefully this will be OK for an MOT now, then I can think about a new panel when I've got some cash.

          What do you think re MOT ?

                Re: Accident

                That's absolutely fine for testing, just keep your eyes open for another panel if you need to.

                  Re: Accident

                  Just to let you know that the car passed the MOT today .

                  Out of interest I was telling the man in the garage about how the dent occured and that I'd stopped the claim, and he said I should have gone ahead as they'd have paid me off, to write off the car and let me keep it most likely. I said that surely I wouldn't have been able to use it, but he said it would have been a CAT C most likey which means you can carry on, he's done it 3 times apparently with the same car.

                  Damn and blast, but never mind it's got another year now so well happy.

                    Re: Accident

                    Happened to me but insurance company would not let me keep the car.

                    Said if I did they would reduce the payment substantially.

                    Last I saw it was on one of these spares or repairs websites.

                    Presume someone with better knowledge of the car trade than me will have taken it replaced the damaged bodywork and sold it at a vast profit to some poor consumer.
