I thought that a full respray, new glass, sensors, trims and alloys would have been cheaper.
Still expensive... but cheaper than a write-off.
Insurance disagreed, and for me the difference does not exist... the car is new, it needs to be returned to how it was 10 days ago, and however it was done was not something I cared too deeply about once I knew it was hitting my excess and was an actual insurance claim.
I think you're better off with a replacement. You can guarantee that a respray will not be done to the ideal standard and the future value of the car will be ruined.
But as a project for someone to buy cheap at auction and DIY repair your old Jackson Pollock s90 would be great.
Agreed.
