Good afternoon team Audi,
This morning on my way to work....
I turned off a roundabout and about 10 meters from it. I had to stop as there was a car infront of me turning right.
Just as the fiesta infront of me turned, BANG
Ive been rear ended by a guy in a ****** 1 series.
I suspect he came round the roundabout far too quickly and obviously couldnt stop in time.
Probably eager to get a glimpse of the vegas yellow beast (this just confirms it attracts muppets)
So he has hit me at around 25mph under hard braking and the damage on my car just seemed to be some scuffed up paint. (you can even see where the kidney grill on the beamer has kissed it.)
It was a hard bump, but luckily I wasnt hurt or the BMW driver and his passenger!
He was very reluctant to give me any of his insurance details......But did give me his phone number and address etc.
He DID admit liability on 3 seperate occasions aswell!
(I got plenty of pictures too, which of course in the situation is the best thing to do)
He was adament he did not want to go through any insurance company.....I explained that was potentially ok. As I dont have protected no claims at the moment (5years) I also dont fancy being raped by my insurance company come renewal .........especially for something that was not my fault!
So If he could suffice cash to cover the full repairs, it perhaps wouldnt be so bad. Which he said would be fine......
So I had all his contact infomation and plenty of pictures. He apologized again and The we Left.
So i get to work.... and i decided to take off the bumper to have a look at the potential damage underneath.
My findings are that I deffinetley need a new slam panel and bumper bracket! The clips are all shattered along the top aswell as the main supports all the way along.
Its also broken my diffuser and damaged the clips on that too!!
Not to even mention the cosmetic damage.....
So I called Audi and got a headed itemisation of the bits I need for repair.
(EXCLUDING paint and Labour)
It comes to £981.57
So I have a very good body shop near where I live and hes qouted me £500 all in to have the paint and fitting done.
So I let the BMW driver know (sent him the invoice for parts) and said basically
£1500 cash and we shake hands and walk away.....
Its been many hours and I have had no response.......
I still need to go to the policestation to fill out some of the accident reporting forms.
Im wondering If I should text him basically saying......... agree and pay up...
Otherwise I will report you as being unisured and take him to the cleaners (If I can)
But of course I believe in giving people a chance!
What do you think?
