mac456 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 need abit of advice. basically, almost a year ago, i had some one crash into the back of me which fucked the bumper, rear panel and boot. this was repaired by my insurance. well today after looking around the area about something else, i notice a very faint line going through the paintwork (on left rear panel), just above where the rear bumper meets the rear panel, and it is obvous that this is damage from crash a year ago. So basically the paint has been cracked from the damedges, and rust has appeared underneath it, only slightly, buts its still there. is my insurance company still liable to repair this?? p.s i will try and upload pictures later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
