    Not piss you off but, why did you not have an insuranse to cover it ?
    The insurance are covering it, but that doesn't mean it costs me nothing, the premimum will rise 500pounds this year and reduce gradually.

    About the number plate, its just a standard one, i dont go for choosing plates particularly. Personalised ones are a bit tacky/sales rep in my opinion. I have pointed out in a previous thread that the plate on my car is the one after the plate that was registered to the A8 Clarkson drove in a Topgear episode, when he drove to edinbrugh and back to london on one tank of diesel.

    Anyway i hope that it'll be sorted this/next week sometime, depending on when the parts come from Germany. Its rather embaressing having a 50,000pound car with a gash in the front bumper...
    I've just been driving the RS6 instead this week and my wife is in the B-class Mercedes.

    That does sound excessive, I use to know a coach works that worked on making alloy bodies for vintage cars but alas the guy in die. I doubt there is too many guys out there working on alloy now so your options are very limited.

    Bad luck mate.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    I cant see why it's so much !!!! The new panel will come etch primed .It's only the same as fitting a new wing on any other car .

    I use to do a lot of work on land rovers and they are all alloy as well .

    I think they are talking sh*t .
