Got my repair bill down to $5,600! Used headlights (and hopefully a fender) ftw.

 

Hooray!

 

UPDATE!

So, 3 solid days of work so far and this is where we stand with the car...





Front bumper prepped, Right front fender replaced (Thanks to EK9MAX for providing me with the fender, hope Garret's DSM wasn't too loud lol), Left front fender repaired, both doors repaired, windshield frame repaired, both rear quarters repaired, rear bumper repaired, interior trim stripped, left headlight de-tinted, rear spoiler removed. If all goes well, she'll be going into the paint booth by Monday

 

Freshly painted black car = awesomeness, but pain when it rains and comes time to clean it again!

(just had my black AMG repainted a while back)

 

looks good man

 

Some more pictures from today after the car has been sanded with some better lighting.





Estimated time until completion: 2 weeks.

 

Fun little update. The body shop has offered to do different shades of black for me at no extra charge. I've opted to go with Astro Black Metallic from the newest Mini Coopers.



It's a base black with a blue and silver pearl to it under sunlight.

EDIT:

 

^looks nice!
