    Had you advised your insurance company of the previous damage to the car. as your policy probably requires you to?
  • Really? Do you report every ding and scratch to your insurer?

    Why did you not go through your own ins co?
    As you are still going to have to declare it as a claim.

    Interesting how a wing mirror damages a panel, unless one that hit car is a low sports car
    I didn't go via my own insurance for several reasons, although I did declare it the day it happened.

    Are your car's wing mirrors higher than than the height of other cars on the road...?
    Pretty much, so if I hit another car with my wing mirror, it would be around the bottom of the rear window & be far more likely for front bumper to hit other car.
