    Hehe. I see what you did there.

    I spoke with the adjuster today. They're not totaling it. The jnsurance company was about 3k lower to fix than the shop said. Adjuster found headlights for 1k used, hood and fenders off another one that saved 450, used ac condenser 600 less.

    Not sure if I like not getting new parts, but the shop I'm working with has an excellent warranty that they stand behind well. If they think I won't like it (and they know how particular I am) they will fight to get it.

    UK insurance companies will only allow brand new parts to be fitted, not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

    I would make sure that they are willing to warranty all parts same as if they were new, only after you are red in the face from fighting with them about trying to install used parts....IMO

    Used headlights could be a cluster fUsed fenders and hood. Cluster fWork with the shop and get new even if insurance won't payThe first paint chip that reveals Mugello and 60 mils of paint will drive you nuts

    Update from the body shop

    Good news. Adjuster came up to the level the shop was asking. All new parts. Holding up the work now is getting the core support from Germany. I'm happy with this news and looking forward to getting the beast back.

    Update

    Yesterday I spoke with the owner of the body shop and they said that the core support is backordered. And it's coming from Germany.

    Delivery date is Dec 20th. Holy hell. I won't drive my car til next year.

    Track vids you ask...Just because it is you Kyle- I signed up for 3 days at TWS (Dec 14-16). One day of Open Track day- followed by 2 day track event. I hope Crazy (and Max) make it all 3 days without issue..00

    Thanks for signing me up to TWS for those days! I get to beat CRAZY into submission and some 4 wheel drifts.
    You might be disappointed by the flipflop Ben's RS6 as it doesn't have APR/KW/BBS/Alcon/160k miles...

    Yeah Kyle, as Ben said, where the F are those photos/videos of der beast getting surgery????
