Bonnet wanted
Does anyone know of good breakers for body panels ? Storm Katie blew off a roof tile that smashed onto my v70 bonnet ! If any one has one to sell , Silver if possible please pm me.

After looking at a couple of second hand bonnets I decided to get it done via insurance. P3 body panels seem very scarce and expensive even for a tatty examples that needed dents filling and painting.

Model flyer .....
.....hope you're luckier than me with that insurance claim .... I had exactly the same circumstance a few years ago .... Also had full comp. insurance on the car and separate house insurance...... with different companies .... Both refused to pay out as " ...... You cannot claim off yourself " I.e. Car and house both in my name.. Therefore ineligible...... Unless their rules have changed. Unless you've got a good broker who can bend the rules, be careful when you first make contact with your insurers .... Car / house in different names ?... Wife's name .... Parked at arelations overnight ...?. Good luck. Topper |

Hi Topper . Insurance company has been fantastic. I called them on Monday morning and explained the problem and they agreed I would be covered under"accidental damage" They then arranged every thing. Repairers contacted me Tuesday morning and collected car and delivered a courtesy caron Wednesday morning . Called me later that day to explain what was happening then called me Friday morning to tell me it was repaired . New bonnet fitted and painted. Delivered it back to me yesterday afternoon. Brilliant. Sorry to hear about your problems. You only know how good a company is when you actually have to use them.
