In your position, I might look for a s/h rear light cluster and fit it before the car goes in for an estimate - the price of new ones is stupidly high. Might stop it being "uneconomic to repair".
In such a fool - at fault accident
Hi all,
Long story short, my beloved 2009 jaguar XF only a week after a new 12 month advisory free MOT has been in an accident, one entirely my own fault. I reversed off my drive on a hurry and hit another cars rear passenger door. I'm a tool. I've admitted fault etc and reported to insurance and I'm awaiting the body shop calling. My worry is that they may want to write the car off, it's the passenger side rear bumper with tiny bit of damage to rear light and rear panel. I really don't want it to be written off I want it repaired as I love the car and intend keeping it as long as I can. I've attached some pics, what do you think?
