Thanks guys.

Adrian i agree it will be an uneconomic repair for the repairers but what I don’t understand is how it is CAT B and not CAT C. Now I realise because of the damage to the driver’s door i.e. pushed in quite a bit that the safety cell has been compromised so a CAT C not D.
But if it doesn’t matter what CAT and I can repair it myself then I won’t argue too much with him. I was just finding it really hard to understand how they have come to this conclusion without checking it is all.
