Ah lads I'm devastated, only had it three months.
Pretty sure insurance is gonna write it off now

My friend brought that car in from UK last year... Lovely car.. had different wheels on it as standard... Those ones now look great on it. Hope it works out for you.

@Ericaaa

Try local panel beaters. Depending on your location some boardsies can help your out with the names of reputable independent lads that would surely do the job cheaper.

If you really like the car it can be saved and as good as new and personally I think it’s such a cool and unique car it’s worth saving.

Panel damage doesn’t look awful it’s the possibility the frame needs to be jigged that’ll hurt you.

Garage has quoted insurance €3700 to repair it. They're probably only gonna value the car at €6000. I've never been through anything like this before but people have been telling me to expect it to be written off

try different garages, its your choice where you want to get it done. Price may differ.

The other party ran a stop sign so his fault.

Seems steep on the price.... You could go down the fix yourself road.
You agree a price they give you a cheque minis the vat charge....

Then get it repaired and see can you work out a discount, these places add on a fair chunk when insurance is involved.

Congrats Bazz - what colour is it? Hard to make out in the light in the photo (mineral grey?). Don't be shy with the spec (and plans). Best of luck with it

Thanks, yes mineral grey with oyster interior. Has the M Sport Plus pack including larger blue brake calibers, head up display, adaptive chassis and led headlights with high beam assist. It also has a carbon fibre boot lip spoiler and gloss black kidney grill.

Brother of mine went from a 530d to a 420, and couldn’t back it at all. Within about a month he was in a 330. I’d say for anyone the move from a ‘30 to a ‘20 would be difficult!

Yes, I've had a few 20ds and the 30d is night and day to be honest. 30d is just so much smoother even in diesel terms.

They’ve only registered 230 151’s in the 12 months since I brought mine in.

Lovely colour on that. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

My first volkswagen. Sold on my 180k mile 2010 ford focus, got this Passat. GT spec. Hoping the cream leather doesn't come back to bite me! :-D

Honey I shrunk the car even further

Quick WFH lunchtime wash, holding up really well since the detail. The tar spots just wipe off with ease.

What's the process for that or where would you be looking. On the lookout for something nice myself.

Without derailing the thread entirely... eBay Germany is your best bet for proper German original wheels. I picked up a set of four 18’’ staggered BMW motorsport radials for e91 for €230 and €70 posted. They’re in need of a light refurb but I’ve still saved a good €200 compared to Irish prices. Seemingly the more you spend the more bang you get for your buck though, buy wheels for 1k that sell for €1400/1500 here.

I just went with the nicest OEM e91 wheel.

** these ones

I’ve decided to order wheels from Germany as the Irish prices on some of the rarer wheels would make your eyes water. Cleaning them postponed.

Think i spotted this on the dock road yesterday, well just at the roundabout where you come off the dual carriage way before the tunnel. Looked well.
