Will hopefully find out tomorrow.. sickening thing is the assessor said they won't write it off, even booked it into the body shop.. rimmers still do doors £675.. but the do offer massive discounts to keep out cars on the road. More annoying there was a set of raven black doors on eBay but for a tourer. 😢

Default insurance claims

When my beloved 800si was pranged the assessor valued it at £300, this I refused my reasoning being I could not replace it for that amount - retail value at the time £1000. Insurance dug their heels in until I threatened court action against their insured, got the full value, sold it spare or repair and bought my 75cdt. Keep badgering them!

Great! Tell your insurer (LV) that you're not claiming on your policy, you're claiming on her policy because they have admitted liability. Your excess and NCD should therefore remain intact. If her company tries to resist, tell her that you will have your car repaired and sue her in the County Court for the cost plus your expenses.

It's only the rear doors window frame that's different! They can be swapped over to suit.

Edit- I'm sorry, totally wrong on this. No idea what I was thinking and clearly getting my cars mixed up.

ALWAYS call the police no matter the circumstances, report the incident and get a reference. Then call your insurance, make certain they are in no doubt that you are NOT making a claim on your policy, but on the other person's.

I was victim of a similar circumstance after a Mercedese tried to join me in my lane on a roundabout, resulting in both offside doors needing replacing plus a small dint on the sill pulling out. The other driver admitted their fault straight away.
I acquired both offside doors from scrapyards, rear from Cardiff, front from Bolton and fitted them myself, and had sill sorted out by local bodyshop. Total cost £450. I gave the other party the bill and I was given a cheque for the full amount within the week.

Well but off pressures has worked, they've just offered me cash in lieu to value of repair net Vat.. but said if I take it to CF they will also refund me the Vat.. effectively paying for the work in full, if anyone can work that out..
