Hey guys,
Need some help regarding my car, was coming out of a service station entrance tonight and its a one way entrance, anyway I have to take it at an an angle so my front end doesnt scrape. I got cut off as i was pulling so my car nose dived straight into the road and from what I can see so far has cracked the front bar near the wheel arch, which is about 2 inches long and has snapped the clips or screws that hold the bottom end of the kit on so now it swings if I pull on the front end. First of all does anyone know a reputable body-kit fitters/repairs in the western suburbs and also what kind of price could I be looking at? Ill have pics up tomorrow, too dark now |

The only thing I could suggest is call in to one or two crash repairers, have them have a look at it and get them to give you a rough quote.
And then price up the cost of getting a new bar sprayed & fitted. Depending on the quotes you've got, it may even be cheaper? I had an accident with a fibreglass T3 bar on the front and the repairer my insurance company sent it to said it was cheaper to throw it away and whack a new one on than it would be to repair it. The only thing about that though was there was a fair chunk more damage than what you've got there.
