Pretty sure it's not. It's not even gone through the wrap. Kinda of just scraped the wrap. The wheel took the brunt. Kinda lucky I had those 15mm spacers over wise it would be a rear wing need repairing !

What's your gut feeling in regards the women,does she sound legit or not?
As you are no doubt aware, you are obliged to report the accident to your insurance company,however,I can understand why many don't.
If you have the other drivers details,which I hope you do,call them up (her insurers),and see if they are aware of the collision,and if they are,ask if their policy holder has admiited fault,and how they are proposing to proceed with sorting out your car.
If they are unaware of the accident,you need to contact your insurers ASAP,and proceed through them,unfortunately this will no doubt have an impact on your next renewal,but it could be worse.
Good luck.

She seems legit. Has sent me insurers name and number, and the ref number from her incident report. I will call them in the morning and see if they will deal with me directly.

Bloody annoying Nick whichever way you look at it hope everything get put back to normal soon.

As it wasn't your fault this should be dealt with at zero cost to you - this should include your own premium, moving forward from this point.

Interesting. Will look into that.

Thanks. I was furious. Swearing loudly. Not directly at the girl but not a happy chappy!

Know I'm going to have to declare it, and pissed but ok with it. Just rather deal direct now, and not involve my ins.
On the upside I may get my tracking paid for that I needed after fitment of the coilies. I think they would stump up for tracking considering the damage to the wheel?
