5 day old car already damaged !!!

[monkeylad]

Have my mum on my insruance which brings down the price and let her drive it to get food a few hours ago and shes come back and said she reversed into a wall.:aargh4:

Looked at the damage which isn't bad few minor chips and the impact post where she hit the wall which is a circlurar 6cm diameter which is scuffed plastic. Also he number plate holder has dent marks in it which isn't a problem.

Whats the best way for this to get cleared up ?

Not looking to replace the bumper unless if needed but not looking to spend a fortune although dont really want to do it myself.

thanks in advance

sorry to hear this mate, i leant years ago never let your mum drive your car, at the time i had a 12month old calibra, id fitted some 17in imolas (massive at the time and cost £800) she drove it less than 5 miles and kerbed every wheel :zx11:

anyway back to topic, without seeing your car it would prob be cheaper to replace the plastic trim than have it repaied, hope this helps bud

Its actually less then 5 days old aswell which is sickening.

I keep going out and having a look and thinking its going to look different.

Will take some pictures late and post them up.

cheers

Take it down to a local body repairer and let them see it. A bumper scuff/repair to a corner would usually be around £100 depending on the damage. We repair damaged bumpers like this all the time at our garage with extremely good results. Alternatively look on ebay for rear bumpers (genuine). You may be lucky and get one your same colour. The bumpers are fairly straight forward to fit if your mechanically minded you just need a set of torx screwdrivers.
