    smacked up my 318 yesterday :'(

    yeah so just like the title said.smacked up the 318 today. i was going like 5mph, hit some bad ice turning into this downward parking lot, slid into a guard rail... the bumper is completely fine, i needed a new fender/grill/(maybe a rad support)/hood. im really bummed, but im painting it next month anyway.and when i took off the messed up fender, i found that this thing had a previous accident, found like a half inch thick spot of bondo.(trying to look at the positive side)

    bought the new fender for 75 bucks.( red).. rattle canned it to hold me over till the new paint job.

    junkyard has a hood for 100 bucks (red)

    not needed but at the same time that i buy the hood, im gonan pick up the trunk off the car for another 100 bucks (red).

    all of these parts are off of a 325is

    fender after i took it off, took the rattle can just to compare, sprayed over the cracked off paint. it looks like crap.


    the best i could do at the moment for bending the rad support back.
    new fender rattle canned.


    , the fender on, needs some adjusting, new hood, and i still need to work out the headlights more. going to do that today, will post pics after.

          Your yard charges $100 for a hood? Find someone parting out. I'd pay $50 maximum for a good hood.

            one thing for sure is that a new paint job will not cost a lot...
            good luck on the repairs

                      what color are you going with? If you're gonna spray it might as well be a raw color like henna.
                      Jah bless! :pimp:

                          Is it just me or is $100 each way too much for the hood and trunk from a junkyard?
