mine was £60 throught insurance
the chip is at top right of windscreen out of drivers view and is prob 10mm (check later or take a pic).
the car's not insured yet cos i brought the car last august from me sister (after she got a new focus) and is planning to S.O.R.N. it from end of november when the tax-disc expires.
reason being that i'll be restoring the car when i store it in me back garage during which:
- i won't have to pay tax cos it's off the road
- no need to pay insurance cos it's immobile
this way i'll keep costs down throughout overhauling until i've finished the car next year by then i'll apply for insurance n tax.
i suppose repairing the windscreen now when uninsured would cost abit at full price. or should i wait next year till i fixed the car and applied for insurance to repair it?
btw has neone here had their screens filled before? how good r they? could the crack fractures be seen afterwards or would the screen appear like new?

i'd get it repaired as it'll only get worse with driving, the screen takes quite a bit of stress.
screen repairs are quite good really, normally about £50. sometimes they arn't visible at all after, mostly you can see then if you know where to look.
here is a pic of the limits.

the car won't be driven until i finish it next year. m8 suggested winters also coming up but it'll be in garage by november neway.
if i repair it under insurance, that's making a claim right? could that claim be done immediately after i apply for insurance (dunno if it affects NCB.. naa it'll be me first years insurance anyways)
the crack is just on the boundary between the 40mm & 10mm allowance. but yea Silver i suppose i should get it done soon.
is the £50 for a mobile repair van?
could it b cheaper if taken to the shop..um ohh, i can't drive it yet. meh.
mobile repair it is then. need to research for cheapest one around now.
