Hi

Anyone with knowledge in this area.

11 plate VRS estate (anthracite). Managed not to put on handbrake enough so that it very slowly trickled down a hill until the gradient changed (it took about 5 mins to happen) and it hit a stone wall (at what must have been a reasonable rate as the wall is gone). The back bumper is cracked along with the left rear light cluster. It is also very likely that the exhaust took some damage (though it is difficult to tell this).

I really have no idea how much this'll cost to repair (I'm getting an estimate later in the week) but I'd appreciate a guesstimate from peeps on here (to make it less painful when it happens). I guess it comes down to how much damage there is that I cant see.

The handbrake was on (as witnessed by the wall owner) but I guess I hadn't pulled it up enough :(.

My guess would be between 1-2k but these things are often more expensive than you expect :(

Thoroughly gutted :(

thanks in advance,

Chris.

Someone went into the back of my wife's megane earlier this year when their foot slipped off the clutch when stationary. The damage looked minimal but cost about £1k to get fixed.

Sounds like about £500 to £1k. Shop around as some will repair opposed to insurance 'fit new' just because...

thanks

the damage to the rear bumper is too extensive for a repair (I'd imagine it's knacked internally) - I forgot to mention that it also has rear sensors which I guess will be shot as well :( !
