was rear ended yesterday while behind a car waiting to turn right[] Heard the skid, looked in my mirror saw a big volvo getting ever closer and then...........bang. Fortunately I had my handbrake on so didn't hit the car in front, thank goodness with my excess. The bloke admitted he was going far too fast - i had been stopped for a while hence handbrake on and his skid seemed to last several seconds.
damage appears to be superficial. a cracked bumper which is also distorted and further rearward relative to spoiler. Also evidence of impact to exhaust which is no longer central to bumper "cut out".
Has anyone suffered this before and is there anything I should ensure the repairer checks out? I'm woried the exhaust has taken a hit and may crack after the claim is settled.
Also, how do you get the third party's insurance to pay for porsche approved repair? My experience is you take the car to one of their approved repairers which is no use when it comes to porsceh bodywork warranty, not that there is much of that left in my case.
