Sucky news dude.

My g/f is a master of hitting things in the car. Thankfully as of late she's been pretty good.

I asked if I could have the old bits,thought about putting them on the ute or hanging in workshop. Thats when the panel shop told me about repair bit and apparently insurer checks.

this is correct..

i work at a place that dismantles and rebuilds headlights.., in exactly the same way that your bumper will be pulled down and fixed..

if you really want it, chances are you could find out who the bumper repair place is and buy it back off them..

your bumper would be sublet to them, if its deemed repairable it will be repaired or if its recomended to them to replace it, it will be replaced and they will use your old one to repair and on-sell..

anywayz, damn at the $$, least its insuerd though

btw, is the xr8 yours or hers?

The xr is hers,long story but to cut to the chase I bought a new ute,suddenly there is an XR8 in the driveway for a weekend test drive,you can guess the rest.

As for the carbon fibre don't I wish might withstand the brickwalls etc a bit better.
