Got into an accident today. Yeah, my poor lil white P5 is off in some wreck yard, waiting for my insurance agent to look at it. I'll take pictures tomorrow. The whole front end is bashed in, I need a new hood, a new top and bottom grille, drivers side head light, drivers side fog light, a new radiator, passengers side quarter panel, and I don't even know what else is damaged. Could get the hood open. But when it goes in the body shop I'm going to have them shave the sidemarkers, paint my top grill piece body color, since I have to get a new hood I might get one from Protege Garage. I like the one with the functional hood scoop, I think that looks sick. Kinda WRXish. Would it be cheaper to buy a new hood and have them put it on? Would insurance put forward the amount for a regular hood? Oh well. Any advice would be appreciated.
