That’s why a lot of insurance claims end up 50:50 especially if there are no injuries to push the pay out up as it’s easy and quick for insurers to resolve.
I had exactly this.
I was tail ended by a French lorry driver.

Got out of his cab "pardon, pardon, pardon".

When he got back to France, he claimed it was my fault.
I told my insurers to get him back to the UK where I'd gladly face him in court.
In the end, they told me his insurers admitted full liability.

Have asked M&A Coachworks -who my OPC uses- for a quote. Anyone want to guess at how much the repair will cost? Incidentally, the wheel arch behind the door has a slight indentation from the impact as well.

Quote from OPC recommended bodyshop: £7k as new door required because inner door frame is probably buckled. Didn't expect anything less from a Porsche recommended operation. Local bodyshop will repair for £1,200 😮

"probably" not really good enough at the price is it? No wonder none Porsche drivers' premiums are so high!

Sounds more serious than it looks Mack if they’re talking about buckled door frames? Will that show up as a subframe repaired car on future searches at all?
Do you get any input on who does the repair if through insurance?

I don't think it's that bad but as soon as the repairer finds out it's going through the Insurance the £'s are added on. They have no idea whether the inner door frame is buckled, they are just guessing. My local body shop will repair for £1,200 and they work on high value cars, including Bentleys. If you are referring to the "Subframe" of the actual car then there's no way that this has been damaged.

Either way you are clearly going to need to sell it mate. You can’t possibly drive a damage repaired car - intolerable… 😂😂

I never become too attached to my cars. This one will be gone by the end of the year, I think.
