Talking Damage after a hit and run

Hi all,

A quad bike lost control on a corner and bounced off my Dads parked 240 GLT, using it like a motorway barrier...and drove off. It had no number plate so nothing can be done...anyway...the majority of the energy of the collision happened in the rear. I have attached a picture what good looks like and two pictures of the existing damage.

- It looks like I need an entire new lower sill trim
- I also need that small corner section

Does anyone have these available or know how I can get them?

I take it I need to first get the rust sorted and filled in and painted, then put the new sills back on?

Thanks in advance.

Claim off the MIB. They exist specifically to cover losses incurred by uninsured or unidentified drivers, even if its just a few hundred pounds.

I thought they just wiped your memory of all events?
