I couldn't tell I was drinking a beer :lol: kidding.I hope she gets the love required to fix it... see if you can get some small mods done instead of paying for stock gear to be put back on... ie air intakeyep this it where the fun starts since I know the guy I have already asked him for a few things and I will just pay the differents between them maybe1. a new bigger chome intercooler2. the v8 bonnet( but he said he thinks the v8 bonnet is $1900 and the xr6 is $300 so I don't no about that one3. a new cold air intake4. I will try and head light protectors and say they were on the car any thing else you guys think???????you could get a respray in merc silver, that way you need only pay for the undercoat.yeah I was thinking about that but it won't match the back on the car :lol: Geez that is one nice hit....how did the Volvo fair?doesn't even look like its being in a crash but I don't think they are going to fix it... it was a 1820 model :lol: I will take some pics when it done and we can play spot the different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutsnake Member 122 Member For: 21y 4m 21d Posted 09/01/04 11:17 PM Share Posted 09/01/04 11:17 PM That should be able to be repaired.....These days they can get fixed with closer tolerances than straight out of the factory. My biggest concern would be the final finish (paint match etc..)I am also curiuos to find out if the bags deployed as this will add a failry significant cost to the repair..I hope it all works out well for you in the end..
