Yeah, and look up the price of buying a wing, painting it, painting a bumper, then blending the paint on the door and the bonnet to a high standard.

A £600-800 job is hammering out the dent and doing the most basic paint job without any blending with the rest of the car, or doing a mediocre job.

My point was that it’s not a rare car, just a rare spec. You may well be able to buy a 2nd hand wing in the right colour from a breaker. Maybe bumper too if those are shared.

And my point is these are all "just good enough" options which are fine if you aren't that bothered about your car, but why would I do those options when I can claim on insurance and have a proper job done to a high standard?

It's what you pay insurance for, no?
