    Pulling into my girlfriens estate, turning the corner and it spun out of control.... Was in 2nd gear doing in between 10Kmph and 20 Kmph. I skid into a parked car, my left front bumper hit their right rear bumper... Looked mainly like paint damage to be fair, and when i knocked in, they knew who my girlfriend was and were pretty cool with me

    They both mechanics too they said, so i really dont know... First kinda crash, My bumper only needs a lick of paint, there's a lil more than mine.

    Anyone know how much i'll be looking at? No major bumps in their bumper from my inspection, just a small one.... and scratches! Only on rear left side of thier car. It was a 05 Opel astra Hatchback

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance

    Without knowing the year, make or model of the car you hit I would estimate anything from €50 to €50,000.

    If it's just scratches and no need for any filler or other repairs might be looking at around €200-€250.

    Advice... next time turn in using first gear using nice gentle turns on the steering and no braking.

    About €200-300 I'd say for a full bumper respray, assuming no damage to the surrounding panels. They may do all or some of the work themselves or get a mate to do the paint work, but that won't necessarily cut the cost to you don't assume, they still need compensating for their time & effort.
