Hi, I have just got a brand new 206s. I bumped the front left wing and I
don't want to claim the insurance, the metal is bashed in. The quote I got
from the panel beaters was £1290, I recon this is a bit expensive and so
does everyone else. I can get a new wing for £55 however this isn't the same
colour as the car (Aluminium). Can anyone give me any advice as it's a brand
new car, I am skint and don't want top claim the insurance as there is a
£500 excess. Thanks for any advice.

If you care to post your general location, someone will likely advise on
trusted local bodyshop.

£1290, well over the top and £500 excess...is this common? I would get
another in touch with another insurance company, although this could be down
to your age/experience I guess.
Try Googling or the like for bodyshops in your area, but I reckon you should
be able to get the job done for around £400 if it is just the wing.

To give you some idea, I have just had a wing replaced and resprayed on
my wife's 206. Job was done by the main Peugeot dealers in Cardiff for
£498 all in. The paint job they did was excellent - you can hardly see
its been done. If a main dealer charges £498, I would have thought you
could get it a lot cheaper at a smaller garage.

Find a male friend and get him to take the car for a quote.

Surely in these days of female equality, that wouldn't make any
difference, would it????
Err, yes, it probably would!

So now we know. If we want to get the best price we have to get our
wives/girlfriends to do it for us. Or do a bit of cross-dressing!!

Come on the cross dressers and the 206's!!!!!
