Hope it doesn't set you back too much. The dealer told me that Fiesta's are relatively cheap cars to repair considering its german made. I guess there are tons of them in OZ.

The title of this thread "bye bye Fez" gave me impression it was kinda like a write off. Lucky it wasn't though

Helder, that thread title and the subsequent photos created one of the biggest Anti climaxes Ive experienced.

That small amount of damae doesn't warrant a respray, and insurance won't pay for a new colour.

btw, has anyone ordered a front bumper from the uk yet?

I got insurance too, the owner has to pay (lucky he was there). I shattered the dogs hip, so I think it had to be put down. Not to sure. Feel sorry for the dog, not the owner.
