Pride & Joy Done In.... Friday 13th

[Doodlebug87]

I'm not superstitious in any way, but it's hard to ignore now. My Civic has taken a beating, just left work and pulled out at a roundabout, only for somebody at the next junction to pull out right in front of me, no time to stop whatsoever. Lovely old lady who was thankful for me being so calm and helpful, both of us are ok I think although my lower back muscles are feeling a bit achy (no I'm not going to claim unless it's actually f*cked before the whiplash vultures swoop in! I'd rather not push up everybodies premiums!) . More worried about my pride and joy, gutted to be honest. Not sure if it's just exterior damage or not, fingers crossed... She admitted fault and I don't foresee her messing around unless she has a split personality. One question, can I dictate where the car is taken? I only want it to go to TGM in Fleet who are a Honda racing team and specialist garage and bodyshop, do not want it to go anywhere else as I don't want some scummy scrotum ragging it about and f*cking up the supercharger or the engine for that matter. Do not trust it anywhere else. What a knob of a way to end the week!

Looks only superficial damage to me, depends how much it is insured for a bit but looks to have no structural damage, not an expert though.

The car gets repaired where YOU want especially as your non fault, I used to be an Estimator, They will most probably tell you that you are not entitled to a courtesy car unless you use their approved repairer, Worth seeing if TGM have something you can use as they should be keen to get the work. From the image the damage looks light- Bumper cover, Possible re-inforcer, Wheelarch trim. Make sure the estimator puts down for a geometry check.
