OT: Bodyshop repair

Not when you stick to reputable ones. Our local one, recommended by the insurance Co. were a pleasure to deal with. No ambulance chasers as a result of their involvement.

Three "jobs" there, not two. Insurance, private and cash...

I can't see any creases in the metal, so yes it should be possible. In fact if you look on youtube there are a couple of thermal shrinkage tricks that you can do yourself, which may well pop it out.

Don't know...

True enough but given other information probably untaxed, uninsured, no

MOT, may not even have a licence. Even if the Police did do anything, like get the car crushed, he'll just go out an buy another £500 banger and carry on.

Even if they "loose" a car every year £500 is cheap motoring. Not enou gh income to pay fines so they'll be paid at £1/week... Might, eventually , get banged up for a few weeks but not likely.
