General Luigi Vs warrior

[2668GRIFFIN]

Coming home from work on friday i got cut up on a roundabout by a warrior pick up truck.
Unfortunately he sped off, and i was in a situation that i could not pursue and i now have to get the repairs done through my insurance company.
Damage is quite extensive with a crease running from drivers door to the rear.
So this morning off to the body shop to get it sorted, and he is booked in for the 7th may.
They are going to totally respray all of the o/s, and while it's there sort out some minor battle scars the van had when i bought it.
The guy is going to do some before during and after pictures for me, and i will post these up when luigi is home.
Has any one driven a vw up as this will be my wheels for 5 days.......lol

What a bummer Luigi, how horrible for that to happen to your pride & joy

Plus the hassle and inconvenience caused trying to get it put right. Still, I'm glad you're getting it sorted and it sounds like you've got a good man on the case.

Hope it all goes well

Pikey wagons! That's a real shame but at least it's getting fixed! Would be a shame to not get your mirror caps cc'd while it's in and they gave the paint mixed!
