and I'm sure they'll use their database of insurance companies that advertise elsewhere and give toots a decent quote.

That aside......as toots will probably tell you, it isnt exactly a quiet place for insurance claims near Liverpool.....hence her :lol:

post what your looking for here if its just the bonnet it should only cost about £50 and ask for the right colour as well


Thanks for that - located 2 bonnets at 50 - 60 quid but they're down in Kent... I'll give it a couple of days and see what's what.

That was my first year as an owner driver used Choice Quote, was a percentage driver prior to that.

This year with insuretaxi is down to 350 excess, similar premium plus I get public liability and recovery etc - much better deal all round.

About a grand a year fully comp is pretty much what everyone I've talked to seems to be paying for PH insurance round here.

I'll post if I make any progress.

ttfn and thanks all

After much phoning various solicitors and chatting with an acquaintance who's a CAB volunteer the consensus is it's not worth following up.

The two main opinions given: 1/Cost to recover the limited amount of monies might be prohibitive. 2/Parents of guilty party may not have funds to pay in spite of any success in court.

As I posted earlier, I've a fair bit on my plate just now so I'm writing it off.

Thanks all for advice and comments :mrgreen:
