Hi,

Was at a wedding yesterday and some idiot reversed into my car in full view of several witnesses. I say idiot because they were apparently showing off by trying to reverse into the very large space quickly, didn't have their mirror folded out, had parking sensor(!) and didn't have the courtesy to come and apologise at the very least.

Now luckily there is only a small dent (and minor paint scuff) on the front bumper, some small scratches and chips (possibly from their previously damaged rear bumber) and some markings on the registration plate. The hotel contacted me with the name and phone number of the person but they went before I could discuss the matter with them, luckily 2 hotel employees witnessed the bump.

Now in all honesty the damage appears to be minor and cosmetic (I'll just get the local VW dealer to check that it is nothing more) and if I was responsible for damage, I probably wouldn't progress replacing the bumper, reg plate, and pay a £400 insurenace excess.

Out of interest however, does anyone know the rough cost of just a Mk6 front bumper (GT model) in graphite blue. Also any opinions on whether you would progress this. The lack of aology is anoying but when you have gone to great efforts to look after your vehicle, it is frustrating that others are less careful. Needless to say, I haven't yet been able to get hold of the person on the phone number they have given, although my insurance company have confirmed it is insured.

Many thanks for any opinions on this,

Damian
