Same for me too when I got rear-ended. They had my car in the bodyshop with no qualms.

It's not quite done yet.
It needs rear pillar painting black and window fitting, petrol filler pipe refitting, undersealing, side skirt back on, bumper insert painting black, needs to be bolted up. Number plate, decals, polishing and a few other minor details and then it will be done. I hope to have it all done tommorow as its now insured and will be taxed first thing in the morning.
