i just got hit too... they will cover the diffuser. I went to a body shop that is top notch and did an amazing job. 700 for repair and 1000 for new bumper and paint is what i was quote (other side paid)

 

I really don't know buddy, if i hit somebody and it was bad and it's my fault i'll tell him i won't repair, turn it to a case and wait for the court order, of course the process would take between 6 months to 1 year, by that time everyone would forget and i don't pay anything.
Try to make him pay for the damage, if he didn't, then you got no choice but to do it your self.

 

Thing is, I don't wanna fix it unless it comes out 100% perfect. Otherwise, I'll get a new one. I just can't stand something that isn't right.

 

Shame to see this happen, it was a great looking diffuser. Hopefully you will get reimbursed and return it to 100% perfect condition. I don't bother repainting/fixing the little bumper dings that others left (city parking collateral damage) because there will be more of them, but seeing them on my bumper is a consistent downer

 

The insurance will pay for whatever was on your car before the accident. It doesn't look like the diffuser is repairable so they'll pay for a new one.

 

Ouch, sorry to hear this.

I guess your rear-end is looking so nice, people are so hooked on it and lose track of their own driving.

 

u can either go after our own ins co (1st party claim) or the party at fault (3rd party), either way, you should not have to pay for it. Check your state's insurance regulations.

 

Guys, we're not in USA, we live in Kuwait.

 

i know exactly how you feel, i got sandwiched exactly one week after I put on my front lip too. The accident wasn't bad but i had to get both bumpers repainted. I was REALLY mad. Hope you get that diffuser replaced at their expenses. Sad to see such a thing happen to a beautiful car.

 

So after two weeks of ditching college every morning to attend 3 different police stations and 2 insurance companies. I finally got a receipt from the insurance with the amount that will be given to me. You wanna know how much I got? They're paying me ***drum roll*** $115 to fix the bumper, paint it and replace the $450+ carbon fiber diffuser. So here's a big **** YOU to the insurance companies, so-called "Law system" and the guy who caused the accident (who by the way didn't have a single scratch on his car).
If anyone is gonna crash into me again, I'm gonna take my bat and beat them up senseless.

 

are you kidding?

how did they come up with that bullsh*t number??

can you sue for damages over there or sue to dispute the amount?

 

I will have a word with the manager tomorrow and tell him what his claims guy is BSing.

Anyhow, I took the car to a garage and sure enough the metal behind the bumper was slightly bent. Fixing the bumper, repainting it and fixing the metal bar came to $240. The diffuser is of course not fixable. Pretty good price IMO. If the dealer charges more than that (which I'm pretty sure they will) then that will force the insurance company to pay me the $240. If not, this is going to court.

 

I got rear ended not too long ago, was not my fault. It didn't look bad from the outside, the rear bumper just popped off the sides... needless to say there was over $7k damage underneath. The insurance company of the person that is at fault must return your vehicle to "pre-accident" condition or else you have the rights to a diminished value claim which you are entitled to anyway. Good Luck!
