At least it is the front that's damaged rather than the rear so used parts will be easier to find. I hope the wheel... and you too, of course... are OK. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

The door is still straight judging by the pics... SO, Hood Headlight Bumper Fender and fender lining Doesn't look too bad, but then again, I only have a picture to go off. Which btw, is a gorgeous Ti and deserves a second life! __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 04-13-2009, 07:39 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Scotland coatbridge Posts: 197 | doors are fine open and shut good bonnet (hood) the same also open and shuts good so not to much damage underneeth the bumper bar is still intact and no damage its just realy the corner that has folded due to being soft inpact wasnt a hard one well hard enough ohh and the wheel has a scuff but i have 3 sets of wheel lying about so not hard to change them had wheel off and looked to see if any damage to running gear but no nothing i could see __________________ | | | 04-13-2009, 07:58 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 | Ouch, that's horrible. Glad you're ok. But it's gonna look nice again, once everything is repaired and replaced. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

New hood, nose panel, front bumper, headlight, fender, corner lens, and whatever else may be damaged underneath and you should be fine. I rear ended someone not even a year ago and had to get new nose panel, hood, and radiator support. It was not that bad and didn't cost me to much for the parts and paint. I am glad to hear you and everyone else is ok. Can I ask you how fast you were taking that corner? lol Sounds like you and the Ti were having some fun. I remember I took a corner kinda fast and I heard what sounded like my control arm or something broke or snapped. Turned out my power steering fluid was low. Haha dumb mistake. Well I have talked enough. Sorry to get OT. Keep us posted on how it turns out. __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on | | | 04-13-2009, 08:02 PM | #14 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | ehh, that'll buff right out. | | | 04-13-2009, 08:11 PM | #15 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | Quote: Originally Posted by bob///M the wheel has a scuff but i have 3 sets of wheel lying about | Do you have 3 sets of the same style wheel?
