Default more damage.

So this morning my dad is leaving the house on his way to work, like every other normal day. Except last night i decided to park outside and let my dad park in the garage last night because he needed to work on his car. no biggie. well this morning as he backs out he doesnt even notice my S. and BAM! hits the front passenger fender. His excuse was "its so low, i didnt even see it". Which is cool, cuz its my dad and he also said hed pay for it. but man it sux! it seems like once i fix one thing w/ the S another thing happens!


(also tryna figure out how to post pics, once i figure it out i will.)

to post pictures, you need to put them in an album and then you can insert them into a post

He should cover the cost of putting widened fenders to make up for your loss. If he's feeling really bad, push for the turbo upgrade. Better yet, start high, work low. Wait, we'll double the offer, turbo, fenders and we'll include a new set of wheels but you've got to call now.

Some guys here may have some suggestions for paint work.

I would say he just needs to replace the fender... not the bumper.

Looks like the bumper is OK unless there are hairline cracks that can't be seen in the picture
