Wow, I'm sorry to hear about the car..At least nobody was hurt! The brabus front bumper will be one good thing about the accident!!

Looks like your wheels took a bit of damage too...They look similar to renntech wheels, Hopefully they can be repaired w/o the big expense of replacing??!!

You might want to include Lorenser fenders and skirt. Looks like some front end suspension damage too.

A tip to follow up on. Since this is a third party claim, in other words, her insurance co pays you and there are no exclusions for damages that are owed you, consider claiming 'Diminished Value'. That is when you are owed for any loss in value to your car after repairs are completed due to the fact that no one wants a used car that was in an accident. Google diminished value and learn about it. Its worth a lot of xtra $$$.

wow good tip! thanks for the advice!!...i'll definately look into claiming diminishing value!!

What do you guys think? New Brabus Rocket front bumper, new front right fender, new lips on all wheels, all centers on all wheels refinished, and 4 new tires....only had time to take a few pics....more to come soon...

auclutch · 01-03-2009, 08:06 PM

car looks sweet. when you have time post a pic of the car shooting directly from the front so we can see it in full glory~ quick question, did you only have to replace the bumper or were some modifications required (inside the bumper) for attachment? also, is the bumper urethane/flexible or fiber glass?
