Right....

My german is alright and the service managers english was okay

They whipped the splitter off to make it safe to drive.  The woman who hit me gave me a contact card of her insurance company, the VW / Seat guy rang them, it seems they can do upto 3k of repairs without any major hassle.

While on the ramps I noticed oil seal on intercooler hose had a drip of oil so will be asking for that fixed at my expense along with driveshaft oilseal.

I struggled to ask / make my point that it must be a perfect match to the wings and bumper.  I must take a translator on Monday, if I can get the time off work

The headlight was wobbly, the headlight washer is damaged the splitter has pulled clean out of the bottom of the bumper leaving holes and then the scratches.

I really hope they dont mind blowing most of the front over as I dont want any mis match!

Its definately having a new bumper

Bless her  :sad1: :sad1:





Apparently ready tomorrow night.  I won't be taking her home if I'm not happy with the paint, if they haven't done an alignment check or replaced oil seal in intercooler hose :(

Hope it's sunny tommorow so any paint cock ups will stand out...
