The higher premium was the biggest initial concern about going down the insurance route but the splitter had started to droop which put it past a touch-up job.
Got one independent quote and they said they'd do everything (minus the recalibration, which would need paid for elsewhere) for £1200...
Original damage for reference is attached.
Back looking brand new today, 3 days earlier than expected. Absolutely bonkers what the final bill came to. Just for fun, I'll take guesses for a few hours. Itemised bill added to help you get to your ball park figure...
When everyone's finally sorted the vibes out, maybe we'll be having a similar conversation?!
"Why would anyone bother with one of those shaky driveshafts? I'd never go back to driving one of those since I've had the [insert cool-sounding future-car name here]. What were they thinking?"
Maybe I'm not enough of a car enthusiast but a clutch and gear stick must seem like unnecessary complications having driven electric.
Obviously it's a different technology bringing "greater involvement" but just can't see why anyone would prefer that added complexity. Driving round town...
Driving a 1.0 Polo courtesy car is awful. XP due back on Friday. Fuel economy is pretty good, averaging 55mpg but it's just a rubbish thing to be sat in. Nothing happens when you put your foot down- far more dangerous than instant space rocket ability
My wife came home to this the other day. No note, no nothing. Which was nice. Bodyshop for quote next week before getting fixed in March. Splitter cracked at the bottom too. Excess not too bad at £250 but I'd rather not pay for someone else's incompetence!
Good to have things back to normal!
Re exciting developments, I'm sure someone on here got a quick 0-60 time. Can't remember who, didn't find it that impressive myself.
Let us know road trip details...
Folks it's just MG getting ahead of the game- BMW are talking about offering "haptic feedback" in the new M3 (released 2028).

Surely just a synonym for vibes?
