Give all the info you have to your own insurance company, and let them do the legwork. That's what you pay them for
Unless you want to stay out of the insurance, and she pays up for the repairs from her own pocket...My D3 Build Thread

Settle without insurers if you can, thats my advise. If you can't reach agreement with the lady then you do need to think before claiming, DIY etc because the insurers have ways of getting it all back and a bit more
They are in business and don't we know it

If you can repair it without insurance involvement then you won't get any category's recorded on the vehicle. It could devalue it when it comes to reselling in a few years thanks to all the mycarcheck things.26 and on the 4th LR..

They didn't use to come painted.
I got one from TLO some time back and he arranged to have it sprayed by their body shop before sending it to me.
It worked out a bit more expensive but less hassle
