clean car man love your taste!
Nope, mods were all me except for the hardtop.

I have your stock suspension. Thx! Sorry to hear about the crash your car looks so good. Make sure you tell them to blend the paint or you'll end up like me with 2 tone ride. F-ing insurance and body shops. Can't trust them.

Tell them over and over.
Good advice, unfortunately the front bumper will be completely new paint but the very small area that was bent on one front fender can likely be blended.

I'd just like to say that while karting does a lot for your instincts as a driver, it's not a direct substitute for actual experience behind the wheel of a real car.
True, it doesn't teach you about the weight transfer of a heavy car or the quickness with which you need to turn the higher-ratio steering in oversteer situations.

That's what I'm saying. New bumper and the way our paint is, with out blend to get perfect match is nearly impossible.

So when they spray the bumper they will blend the new color in to fenders so from different angles it looks the same.

Otherwise no matter how good they at matching the paint it won't look exactly the same with out blending. Trust me I found out the hard way.

Silverstone is one of the worst colors to match from my experience EOE, not sure how Chicane falls. There were actually different blends from the factory of Silverstone which made it a huge pain. Also anytime you paint anything urethane the color isn't going to be an exact match to the metal panel it sits next to. Even the car brand new the paint looks a little different from bumper to fender.
