It'll buff out. The lens of the para should, anyway.

Panel shop wouldnt bother buyin a new bonnet for that. They would pop it back to shape and respray ur bar... itll look good as. U just need new indicator really.

and if ya can't buff out the lense on ur paras, go buy a cd repair kit from sanity or something. Usually uses the whole kit for one lense but they're only 5-10 bucks anyways and works a treat. My mate used it on his falcon.goodluck gettin it all fixed,

Haha...at least you showed him who's boss!!!! Shotty ford build quality lol

Who was at fault? I'm guessing from the impact points on the car he cut you off?

unfortunately i was at fualt failed to give way (but i see it as if u dont see the sign its not illegal). im lucky to have me license coz failin to give way is 3 demerets and ive only got 3 (p plates) but the cop gave me a coution instead.

as for a wide body kit ive thought about it but nah to ricey. got a aftermarket front bar coming though.

How do you not see a give way sign when the road itself has markings on it to signify give way? Do you bother checking at intersections?

haha that would be a good law, i had my eyes closed so i didnt see the red light. give way signs are pretty obvious

I can fix that...
i fixed mine myself when a truck was nice enough to rip the front of my car off...
as someone already said... it'll buff out ;P

but nah seriously... 2 weekends work and you will have that perfect!
provided you can use a spray gun

could've been a lot worse mate, at least you weren't injured.
At the end of the day, it's a car and it can be repaired. Another good outcome is now you'll pay extra attention at intersections :P

the give way sign was hidden behind a tree and the lines werent there, im thinking of putting a complaint into the councel.

ive started repairing it. got new fender just needs respray, new indicator has been painted, and the para, most of the scratches came out but the class has been chipped in some spots. hopefully get another bonnet 2morrow.

yeah post the link in here and see what happens :roll:

im guessing you probably wont be claiming this on insurance?? if it was me, id just go looking around at wreckers to find a new bonnet/guard etc..

mind you, thats all well and good if you got somebody to spray them and fit them if you arent keen on doing it yourself..

looked to be a very neat example of a 2nd gen too.. :)
