I'd love to do that, but the car (along with the whole team) is in Hungary. Transportation would cost a couple of grand easily, which i just can not justify..

Well, you can not really see on the photo how big the impact actually was... Quarter panel itself looked repairable... Underneath tho - basically the whole underside was pushed towards the front approx.2-3 inches...

Thanks a lot mate!

It's difficult to find any of these wheels in good condition imo.. It took two years for me.. lol

BTW any ideas guys what is the best semi slick at the moment? Street legal would be great.
