Hello all,

I posted last week on a car that reversed back into the front of my vehicle.

It's been booked in for a repair.
The repair centre said they have ordered all these parts based on the photo. So just wondering if others feels this is a bit over the top?

Front bumper, bumper barret, right front new wing, wheel horse front cover, impact damper , rivet....

Also if all these repairs are done what's rhe usual time frame? 1 day etc?

I've been offered a hire vehicle but they don't come with dash cams and wondering if theres any places you can get a hire vehicle that comes with a dash cam or i cam hire one ? Mine is hard wired.

One day looks about right.

Can't you live for one day without a dash cam ??

Dash cam hire seems to be for taxis and PCO drivers. Not sure anyone is going to hire a car with a dash cam fitted as the USP.

Even if your dashcam is hardwired, can you take it out and affix it to the dash and power it with USB-C? Or use a phone holder that has vision over the dash and use your phone?

I know that a Wheelhorse is a garden tractor as i have one, but why does your car have a Wheelhorse front cover?

Is it nessecary?

Thanks.

All this Front bumper, bumper barret, right front new wing, wheel horse front cover, impact damper , rivet....?? Based on the photo does that not seem a bit much?

wheel horse front cover....maybe my autotext wrote that wrong as was typing into a text when they were telling me over the phone.

If its just one day don't think I'll bother with the hassle of getting a rental. But it's was just they were saying they didn't know how long it would take until they stripped the car.
As that's why I was asking if just 1 day or even 2 its no big deal to hire a car. But they wouldn't give me a straight answer.
