Silver X10XE Slow project
Bloke asked for 208 quid to fix his van. Cant see how its that much but im not going to complain. He could have went through insurance an that would have cost me more in long run

Re: Silver X10XE Slow project
This is my 6th month driving and i already pay 2.5k insurance per year. Hate to think what it would have been if it went through

Re: Silver X10XE Slow project
208 if he is getting the door sorted by a bodyshop is a decent price and take that most garages charge between 35 to 55 an hour in labour and as you said your premium would propably go up by more than that for next couple of years
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

It was him who asked me if we could sort it without insurance. I almost smiled as he said it lol

Re: Silver X10XE Slow project
Wish the guy I crashed into was like that. He took it to insurance, not to bad as my premium still dropped £600 at renewal
