Hopefully you get it sorted soon

if someone crashed into you you can demand to be put back to original condition despite costs ( was told this by an insurance bloke when my cousins r33 got rear ended)

 

true! are you going through a lawyer? usually makes it easier to get them to pay up, they will try/do and say anything to not to pay out the idiots!!

no, but i'm going to treaten them with a lawyer 2moro and if theres no change i'l get one involved

that's your reason why they are pissing you about, you should have legal cover, most insurance companies offer them, check what if it was included in yours if not bring one on they know the system and how it works, its also beneficial if you know them or been recommended to one, if the cabbie admitted fault ull get paid regardless and the lawyer fees get paid separately so you get full compensation!! hope its fixed and back on the road for summer!!

As said above really, the other party admitted liability and the insurance should pay whatever the cost is to put back to original state pre accident, you cant lose as long as you stay firm with them.
