[optimusp517]

yeah :( There's some damage to the front lower valence, the euro bumpers, of course the entire fender and part of my door, I can't get out of my door right now, I have to exit the vehicle from the passenger door.

Get the frame rails checked before you spend a dime on anything else.

[Lair]

That sucks.

How does it drive now?

[optimusp517]

[DarkWing6]

That totally sucks dude. Hopefully the others guys insurance will take care of you.

I feel your pain from here...in fact, if you were in that car when it happened, get your ass to the ER, ASAP.

GL!

ouch such a nice car!

The fender is toast, so take it to your body shop of choice and ask them to move the fender out of the way of the door so you can use it. They have a neat slide hammer tool that does that pretty easily.
Start shopping for replacement euro parts and getting prices to make your adjuster's life easier. :) The average guy won't have a clue what you've got on there.
If the hood gaps are the same on both sides, you should be ok structurally.

I know I'm getting a new fender for sure. I'm having a body shop give me an estimate and then I'm just going to have my insurance settle it with their insurance and have them cut me a check. I might be able to get the entire vehicle repainted for roughly 2-3K for quality work so I might take that option up, right now I'll have to see what I really want to do. First thing first is to get that damn insurance check and make sure everything goes smoothly.

On the other hand the fender is done for, the door probably fixable and then lower valence and bumpers I'll see what the shop wants to do, but the plastic pieces are done for so those needs to be replaced as well.

Why would you want to repaint the entire car? Your paint looks like it's in excellent shape.

[optimusp517]

You do make a good point, but if I can why not, but here's my reasons.

-rear right quarter panel has been hit before, and has been repainted. If you look close enough you'll notice it was repainted, but if not it'll look fine, so I want to get rid of that.

-the car has been pinstriped (painted on) before and it was a shitty job done so I want to get rid of that

-it's just nice to have a fresh coat of paint after almost 20 yrs ;) Wouldn't ya agree?
