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.
