Well i picked up my car yesterday avo (Friday)

im very happy with the repair job...

few minor issues with it when i picked it up....

they had not bolted the horns in place, nor where they wired up.

they had not bolted my spotlights in before putting the bumper on.

they had not put my licence plate on.

and the sadest thing of all my Indash TV isnt working (dont know if this was caused by the crash) oh well ill buy a new one....



so this morning i started work..

removed the front bumper...
bolted the horns in place and reconnected the wires,
fitted my spot lights.
fitted my H.I.D kit.
fitted a new trans cooler, (left off at my request as i wanted to move it to a new location)
put my bumper back on, and put on my after market grill.

first 3 pictures are from when i picked it up, and the 2 after are after i fitted all my bits.

Looking the part:2thumbsup I really like the MMC badge in there as well, what did it come off?

Really looks nice in that green, id gotten so used to the primer/pan.

its one of the few remaining parts had had from my 6G galant...
head to a pick-a-part near you and pull one off,

i think the grill looked to empty and open without it

looks absolutely fantastic, so much better in green. As for the VR-4 badge...if you're offering mpau :)

As you know, we saw you last night, I head something loud so I looked out of the bar and recognised your car straight away, I could remember the plate as well.

You See

it took 2 weeks for the repair... after waiting 3 weeks for the insurance and acessor to short there **** out,

i would have had it back earlier but thay had probs when painting the bumper coz of all the paint on it....

all the paint underneath was sofening when it was baked in the oven and caused it to bubble... 7 layers of primer cured that.

in the end. the front bar was replaced.
very small corner cut..
new guard,
they replaced both headlights (ive got a spare drives side one now)
got a chrome grill even thou i said i had one at home and there was no need.
my kit was painted instead of another factory bumper.
they put a vr4 impact beam on... more support for my kit (the non turbo one sits further back)
