2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

It never rains........

So yesterday morning I go out to the car and spot this...

Click image to enlarge

A small impact hole but also cracked it, phone Autoglass and they say they will get an OEM Pilkington screen but it may take a while...

Then today, driving into town the traffic stops quick, the guy behind me doesn't, he wasn't going fast, but obviously slightly too fast... On

thinks me, we are off for a week with the Rangie tomorrow, I hope the boot still opens...

Manage to pull over and there seems to be only a small mark on the bumper, but the side trims have popped out, they "sort of" go back in but one didn't last the motorway home...

Got a phone call from the guys boss who thinks they may just pay it so can I get a quote, like I haven't got better things to do... found a local place with some good reviews so went there for a proforma invoice and it's north of £1,500 as various bits broken off the bumper and trims so waiting to hear if they want to pay or go through insurance..

I know it will all get sorted but it's just all the hassle....!!! Pete

2012 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Baltic Blue

ah , that's a load of hassle you don't need.

At least the damage is minor and it's not going to result in it being a total loss or anything like that!

Bummer Pete.

Reminds me of when my wife drove the L405 into our bmw 640d ... just one of those days where you think "what else now?"

The finishers on the bumper should be easy enough to sort ... easily found aren't they ? V8 or else ...

These situations are always stressfull unfortunately, fingers crossed for you getting the proper result. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

To put this to bed, rear bumper replaced, side trims replaced, bumper painted and lower tailgate resprayed and perfectly colour matched. Had the detailer out today and he gave it a clean and ceramic coated the back half to sort the new paintwork.

Bodywork is mint now, the only small patch of damage was on the rear bumper but now that's gone, a result I think...

I asked AutoGlass if I could have a genuine or OE windscreen, they asked the insurance company who said it would "only" cost me £400....

So I settled for one of their pattern, "supposedly" OE specification windscreens...

Imaging my surprise when I picked it up to see this.....

Another result I think, and saved me £400...!

I guess they couldn't get a pattern one

Had it 2 years 9 months now, which is a long time to keep a car for me... I still love it and now it shrugs off it's eleven years very well..

Pete

Great result on the rear bumper and the windscreen!

She's a fantastic looking car that looks factory fresh! A credit to your efforts indeed.
