Hi all, hope I have the right forum thread for this but need some advice.
The wife was hit this morning while driving the A2.
It was a rear knock from a landrover (at fault) but even though she said it made a loud noise on impact and even jostled the stereo out of the dash I cannot physically see any damage on rear bumper. even the gaps around joins look ok.
Now I know that the bumper can hide a multitude of things behind it after an impact so not sure on best course.
The guy that drove in the back has asked if we can sort out with cash rather than through insurance, which I am not adverse too seeing as the age of the car and some insurers very quick to write off for the smallest thing etc.
But how should I play it?
Whatever happens the only way I will know if any unseen damage is to pay for a garage to remove bumper and take a look...this costs money.
Just not sure and looking for a knowledable steer.
Thanks in advance
Steve
