Matt86 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Bit annoying... never seen one in that colour so its not going to be an easy pop or ebay or to the scrappy to find a matching colour replacement..Still, it could have bent the chassis or something harder to replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjdonny Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 i can open it still and to shut it needs a bit of force so that the warning light goes off to say its open i backed into a van that i did not see in the wing mirrors was right behind me and i never noticed,no damage to the van a small bump were i hit it but he was ok about it an old H reg Ford Transit ive seen one for £80 on ebay but need to check what red it is or through insurance is £150 excess but ive got protected no claims bonus 5 yrs + if it is just the lid i may do it me sen,but if the bottom of the boot is bent then insurance taking it to get checked out in morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
