Had some crazy P plater slam up my bum last week.
Only damaged the rear bar (no lights or other panels involved).
Lucky he was insured. Dropped the car in Tuesday morning for fix - still there now Friday as the Bar still has not been delivered.
Turns out that the rear bar (unpainted) costs the panel shop $2,060 and the other guys insurance company pooped themselves and tried to imply that the old one could be scrubbed up. BS!
In addition, the delay is due to the fact that dealers do not carry these parts, so need to come from FPV, another delay.
In addition, I need to come back in a weeks time to get the stripes put on. So, that will be up to 5 - 6 days in the panel shop for a simple rear bar replacement.
Anyway, no wonder insurance is high on these things!
