caught, fault admitted and insurance ok?

Sucks to see this happening to our cars, its like they are magnets for bad drivers, I know they are big, but it seems all of our damage comes from when we aren't even in them!

Yeah, he was delivering to us anyway. I've called Audi Ensurance so will see what happens now. Bristol Audi will be fixing it.

Thanks, it's just that I could really do without the hassle now! I'm getting an A8 hire car as replacement though and on the plus side, I no longer need to fit the PDC sensor I bought from A8 Parts as it should now be fixed under the insurance!

Sorry to hear this and can emphathise after mine was hit recently. Glad to hear that fault wasn't questioned - too easy for people to say it was the other way around!
