ok, what i meant was something like this..
letter / quote from bodyshop to insurance company.
Repair and respray rear 1/4 panel..
I know of a few body shops that will quite happily write whatever you want them to on a quote / letter if it means they'll get the custom out of it !
but anywho.. that's my 2p's worth and good luck to the fella with trying to find the dollar.
