Hi all,
I had owned my E350 for a princely 3 hours.....driving to work and going up the Main Street of a small town. I had to stop behind two other cars as someone was backing out of a car park. Sitting there all peacefully, then wack! Some clutz in a Ford Ranger 4x4 thing, backs out of his car park, straight into my left rear taillight and left rear panel.
Needless to say, I was far from impressed, but managed to keep my anger under control.
Long story short, insurance claim accepted and my excess waived. Now I have to hope that I can get it in and back before everyone shuts down over the Xmas/New Year holidays.

The car is insured and it has since been repaired and now back in my possession. Very impressed with the job they did to repair the car.

These photos were all taken the morning I collected the car from the repairers. Since then it has had number plate frame surroundsput on, and led park light bulbs put in.
Have yet to remove the AMG badge sorry!
