Default Great!!!!!! Merry christmas
What's the matter with people..... got back to my car to see a Seat Leon trying to get in the boot... only to find notes on both cars, some lady had got her foot stuck between the mat of her car and the accelerator in her Mercedes drove onto the Seat pushing it into mine.
Looks like a new rear bumper and the boot lid doesn't align..... what a pain

That's a bugger

If it goes through her insurance, pick a decent bodyshop, silver is a pig to match, especially with your parking sensors that will need transferring over.

I know it can be a pain to match, i may ask them to leave the sensors out as I think it looks better without them. I think one sensor got bent anyway...

as Frenchie said at least you got a note , my wagon was reversed into not so long ago and no note left, paint scuffed and now cracking where the impact was.

If it wasn't for car painting was on the list of things to do I'd be really miffed.

Hope you manage to get it sorted quickly

Both our cars are littered with things other people have done.

As painful as it is, at least the other driver did the decent thing and faced up to their mistake... most wouldn't have!

Hope it's back to its best soon.

As above really , hope it's sorted soon and pain free but at less there decent enough to leave a note! Any one can make mistakes it's how they react after shows character.
But yes what a pain before xmas. Pick you right body shop too as so many cow boys out there .

Just an update, garage came out to see what was needed, rear bumper, 2 x inner wheel arches as fixing where bumper clips on were snapped off, the spare wheel well has been pushed in, this has caused the boot lid not to sit straight so will need pulling out. Hopefully going in to be done in the next week.
