What have you done to your car today ???

What will that cost to repair
I`ll find out next week.
Now I`ve got a straight template door on it, I can get an estimate for a contract repair.
As I was standing by the car, with the key in my pocket, and had been for at least 10 seconds waiting for an opportunity to cross the road, and watched it happen, its not really my problem.

You left the door open and she drove into it?

I was standing with my back to the RH rear quarter glass with the door open waiting to cross over, under the illusion that a door would be large enough for everyone to spot on a straight 30mph limit road with good street lighting.
She was at the head of a long line of traffic, with nobody in front of her, travelling at around 25mph and would have had 10 seconds at least to access the situation as she approached.
She just sailed through, taking the door, with no attempt no swerve or brake, and finally stopped 150yds down the road.

She will fight that one door open on a main road

So if you say you didn`t see the pedestrian crossing, it`s OK to mow down the kids using it on their way to school?

My understanding is that a driver is responsible to maintain his or her situational awareness & must consider all eventualities, and react accordingly, at all times.

Your driving teacher will have instructed you to pass parked cars with enough room for a door to open. And as it's not like the door was opened as she was passing its not like she couldn't have avoided it. She will dispute it though for sure.

I fitted an induction kit and blanked off the factory recirc. valve. It's certainly not subtle.

Does the car still boost as much? When i blocked off my factory recirc on the corsa vxr it felt really sluggish so i returned it back to standard.

Only done a few miles so far but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I have heard of people having problems on VXRs but there are a few Meganes running like this and they seem to be ok. I'll see how it goes though.

I am beginning to wonder if this is what she is going to claim.
She was on the phone within 10 minutes after a hire car, like she knew the drill as a repeat claimant.
I haven`t even got my insurers number on my phone FFS.

No pics unfortunately but reattached the splitter yesterday after my wife decided part of it shouldn't be where it was supposed to be 😂 tweaked the damping on the coilovers, wet & dry sanded the headlights, attached heat shield in the engine bay, resealed the plastic grommets next to the rear lights and washed the car, all on the cup, ph1 is all tucked up in the garage

Made a start on servicing the van, replaced the handbrake cables, adjusted the rear brakes and carried out a brake fluid change while it was jacked up.

Still got all filters to change, oil change and replace the front brakes.
