Don't mean to wind you up here mate, but tbh it sounds like you were in the wrong. Regardless where he was/wasn't indicating you were supposed to be giving way to the chap.

 

I can't see how you hit him unless you were right up his bumper. Or he decided at the very last minute to go straight on??

My bonnet costs £680 including mop of car mate, but the sup bonnet is a big fuc*er and I went to a BMW/Lotus specialist.

 

I reckon if you can source a cheap wing, you can have it sprayed fro around £200. Question is how bad is the damage to front bumper? If it's gone through to the primer then it'll probably be a full respray.

 

Good luck buddy and sorry to hear it ;)

 

I cleaned the marks off the bumper and 99% of it was rubber off his back wheel.the wing is the main point of damage

thats why i always wait at junctions and that when folk coming towards me when im pulling out and there indicators on i always wait to make sure there turning as many a time some folk dont click theres off or change there mind at the last minute and go straight on and also if theres no markings on the roundabout for lanes which then il say its a 50 50 so techically dont want to sound rude but if was you i would just pay for your damage and he pay for his and just dont inform insurance as both yours will go up

My mate was a sprayer/bodywork man for 5 years before he joined Lotus as an F1 enginner so seems like things may be all good.Getting it done paid for by myself for beer monies.

 

Good excuse for that Top Secret bumper i wanted!

thought that might have been the case mate... most roundabouts where I live are single lane! .... lol

 

Hope you get it sorted!
