    I would have thought divorce would be the most cost effective!

      I thought your wife was very lucky, only broke the tail light ,which you can replace your self .

        Surely a wrecker will have one would be cheapest if there is no paint damage

          looks like a very cheap repair. you got off lightly my friend

          but, tell the wife its really bad blah blah and tell her it will cost about 3 x what it will actually cost. then buy something cool

            If you have the missing piece then you could glue it in & source a new light from OS

              hmm

              doesn't seem like i can find any skoda wreckers online, is this because there aren't any/many? or they're just not online.. ?

              any suggestions on where i start to find this part?

                Most larger wreckers have an intranet service where they can seek parts at other wreckers. I am about to have a new rear left tail light fitted under warranty due to moisture. It is a wagon and no idea of the cost but the Skoda dealer had one within 1 week. To repair your light would be tricky and probably illegal.

                  maybe skoda might not be THAT badly priced?

                  failing that, try alibaba.com

                    Your car doesn't look that old. I doubt whether you'd find a tail light at a wrecker. Most wreckers want you to purchase left & right as they won't separate. I'd probably purchase a new one. Gluing it is also not a good idea. You'll have water in your boot in no time....then the real issues start.

                      This might be time to look at aftermarket tail lights
