    well i'm telling you he has no damage. the carbon fibre popped in and then back out. he had a few scuffs on his wheel arch and i have a dent and black scratches which im guessing are fro the tyres. after that split second then we were driving along side each other before i stopped completely. can u try and undertand now?

    "litereally five metres before the bend when he hit me!"

    how were you 5 metres from the bend and 15 metres from the bend at the same time? is it a stretch 206?

    the whole car is not made of carbon fibre!

    and i think they meant that your CAR would be damaged if he'd been doing 5mph.

    k, i'm not being horrible.

    i'm simply highlighting some inconsistencies that an insurer is bound to pick up on.
