As some of you are aware I struck a deer last night and thought I'd start a thread on the repair process, so far I've got 2 quotes, the Westover repair centre and a local garage, Westover wanted £1650, and the local garage wants £300 if I can source parts, so I'll be hunting for a left fender and a new head light for the left side (any colour as he said he can spray it)

I think that you'll find the nearside wing won't be too expensive (even from a Skoda dealer) but I'd be very doubtful if you'll find a second-hand one quickly.  I haven't really looked but is it bolted on or is it welded too?  If it's bolted on then you could almost do that yourself and then be able to use the car once you'd sourced a headlight unit which will be expensive.  Good luck though and keep us all informed because an accident such as yours could happen to any of us not that I've seen too many deer in central Hove.

Frankly the way I was spoken to at the Skoda Westover body shop has put me off going near them, the guy was finding everything wrong with the car which added more money I'd rather go for second hand parts

I was going to ignore the bumper but now I'm tempted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-CITIGO-FRONT-BUMPER-2013-ONWARDS-GENUINE-SKODA-PART-B15-/281347464641?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41819d9dc1

So I just spoke to "Partsshark" and turns out they're pretty     he had no idea what a fender was and just said there's none in stock.. so hold on the citigo on your website for scrap isn't there anymore?  :wonder:

And I've now realised how bad I am at cars  :peek: I'm after a wing, not a fender   but still he should've asked for the quotation number and tried to help, not hang up 

Ah finally, just what I need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/261489745123?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108

Steer well clear of Westover in every respect.

Good luck with the parts sourcing. I don't think you'll have much trouble.

Just purchased this which was £10.01 cheaper than the Westover guy said it would cost (not including fitting)

I've managed to order all the parts I wanted!

Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Total cost's are £162.97 and I might see if I can fit the parts myself, but if not total costs including fitting will be £462.97 which is stupidly cheaper than the £1650 the garage wanted

That was my guessing, with the front wing I'm taking a guess it's 2 bolts in the bonnet and some bolts along the inner wheel arch

I'm really impressed, nay amazed, that you've managed to source all the parts so quickly and cheaply too.

Thanks need her fixed as soon as possible, she's in need of a good wash and I can't do that while she's all busted up :(

So I've had a email to say my headlight should be arriving next Monday/Tuesday but I likely won't fit until I have the headlight bracket
