If the insurance company wont replace for a new one then see if you can get the panel beaters onside, and get them to order the wrong parts if you get my drift. ie XR8 bonnet instead of standard and maybe even a GTP or FPV front bumper? At least there will be some benefit from it, maybe worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
