HELP! We damaged an Abbey GTS 2007 model

[Dustydog]

Helping my neighbour reverse his caravan into a very tight storage spot we accidentally touched the wheel arch plastic piece of the Abbey. It resulted in a scratch on the plastic 1.5" long and 2mm deep.

The bloke's dealer has quoted £250 for supplying and fitting the new wheel arch piece. They say 4 hours labour . Does this sound right? Looking at the Abbey and a number of other vans it looks like the plastic is only held on with six screws.

In all honesty it is such a minor ding I doubt he would lose any value at trade in. But we did it, just a shame he's such a pedantic old misery. Irrelevant perhaps but he had parked up two feet onto our pitch.

Cheers

if it just the wheel arch, its a 2 hour job maximum, there is sticky tape or soudal fixall 'gunge on the back which needs to be cleaned off. it is only held on by six screws and tape on the back, try to find a local'barrons' dealer they should only charge approx 70.00 plus parts

Do you have photos proving he was 2' onto your pitch? If he was I would tell him tough and suggest either knock for knock, or persure HIM for the damage to your caravan - he may park a little more carefully in future.

Good news now.

The owner of the Abbey has said he's quite happy for an invisible repair. Our local dealer will do it for
