crazy person ran me off the road.

Was out driving one Sunday afternoon... on small country road.. going around a nice curve... half way around the curve another car came zooming towards me at very high speed in my lane...
I swerved out of the way... my right wheels dug into the soft sand/grass and sent me spinning off the road... hit a few wooden poles and ran through a barb-wire fence... totally wrapping the car up with barb-wires.
Doesn't look that bad in pictures but the body shop said its going to be months... sucks... but since its in the body shop I might as well do the Vorsteiner lip and hood.... what do you guys think???
Thinking about DPE wheels and KW V3 coil-overs also...

Very sad

The most obvious damage to the bumper, fender and door will be the easiest part of the job -- they are easily replaced with new parts. The repair of the deep scratches to all the other body panels will take many hours of labor.

Good luck with the repair.

Still fighting with the insurance people but most of the panels will be replaced one way or another... including the carbon roof

Sorry to see the M6 damaged. Is it not cheapy,faster and perhaps better for the whole chassis to replace the bumper?

Did you report to the police? Get the lunatic's plate? Without a police report, the insurance people might be skeptical.
