How fast were you going on a driveway to lose the back end and do this sort of damage

slow as hell, I didnt lose the backend, it just didnt turn as much as it would have on a tarmac, I touched the concrete post as obviously concrete posts are exactly smooth it caused this damage.

plus I had no long woke up :roll:

Ouch - I'd say £500 tp £1,000 depending upon your luck.
Fix the panel dent, flat and smooth. Prep the rear bumper and respray both. Blend into surrounding panels. Refurb of rear wheel.

Best drive slower and be awake next time..

Agree judging by the marks on the tyre- as so had factored that into repair costs.

+1. Wife hit a metal railing with her Saab scraped around rear wheel arch, deeper damage than yours shows, but no bumper damage. I did all the prep work (grinding, filling, sanding, rust proof and primer) and sent to a local paint shop - paint work still cost just over £100 for labour & materials; initial quote was £300 all in.

Expect your wheel refurb will cost £60 - £100 depending on where you go.

You should put her on the insurance!

But dont let her drive it?

Dont ask my why

My wife's on the insurance, but won't drive the roadster as 'its too like a go-cart'.... suits me

My partner owns my zed on paper and im the second driver,saved me alot on insurance,It gives her security without the engagement ring to. So all round a massive saving unless she dumped me and took the car leaving me with just my transit connect.....over my dead body!!!! Sorry about your car, mines getting a bit of work done at the body shop across the road from me. Hope you get yours sorted soon:)
