| Don't go with 2.5".... actually I don't recommend increasing the exhaust diameter at all if everything else is stock. You need some kind of backpressure for the exhaust to flow smoothly.... it's fluid dynamics! If you must increase the diameter, 2.25" max. | |

| Dang bro. Least you didn't park the other way around cause it could've been the rear quarter panel. Front end is not too bad to repair. | |

| Thanks guys and it's most definately repairable... however it's gonna cost me a bit I guess. Insurance will cover some of the costs, but while at it I might just throw in some other work to be done. | |

| Ok, so there were some problems with the insurance company, my claim had not been delivered two weeks after I sent it... Called today and the paperwork is in! Also someone took a look at the damage and I will be receiving the outcome of that asap! *hope for the best* | |

| No news yet mates It's gonna cost me I think... ah well... I'm getting a bonus, so that's covered I guess. As for the clear lenses, I have no link, sorry mate, found them in the club in NL | |

| Damn, only a few hundred euro's for the damages... hmmmm.... need to look for some nice discounts 'cause I don't think ordering the parts at the dealer will be covered by this amount. | |

| That sucks. What all do you need to replace again?
Maybe your best option would be to just save up a bit extra and order some really nice/rare parts?
EDIT: Oh I remember (just went back through thread (such a sad pic)). Are you trying to replace the lights with the same ones? Or order a whole new set? | |

| In the meantime I've been sourcing parts a bit. Might have found a replacement for the corner... Oh and will be replacing the parts with the same ones. I still want the power adjustable headlights And... A surprise, but not before all is set! First off I will prolly go back to the clear black ones, since they're plug and play for now. And sometime soon, someone will have to take a look at the fender and bend it back in place. I'm hoping to get some done before the next meet, but it's gonna be pretty tight... | |
