Total Loss
Well have had my rear passenger door reversed into by a lady driving a 53 plate Volvo XC90. This has resulted in a total loss insurance payout. I have bought the car back for £1300. Our sponsors have a door in the correct colour so should be an easy fix.

Goodness me, a total loss on a dented door? The insurance companies really don't want to know about fixing cars these days. I'm glad you are able to sort it though.
