A quick update on my accident:

First some photos, but they don't show all the damages, some are inside, hidden by the bumper / grill.

Dent Hood

I had expected damages around € 1,500 (ca. 1,000 GBP), but it turned out to be TWICE as much!!! *BRRRRR*

So I do have to use my insurance, although it will increase my monthly payments, but still cheaper than paying for my and my friend's damages out of my own pocket.

I'm waiting for an appraiser (surveyor??) to call and make an appointment, then hopefully I'll get it repaired this week.
