That is always gut wrenching to see as a member, I can only how you felt when you came out and saw this for the first time....As you said, once she is repaired, all will be forgotten. Unlike a major accident where the suspension and other components can be compromised, this is superficial and easily restored...

 

Got my Blueberry back all fixed up! She's back to her sexy self. I just have to wait about 4 weeks to get the Xpel PPF put on the front bumper, fender, and side view mirror again since the paint has to properly cure all the way. I also got a wheel replaced and got to keep the old wheel which honestly didn't have much damage. They also gave me money for a new tire on that wheel the girl hit since they couldn't get the same tire over here in Germany (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+). I'm also going to go ahead and get the whole car ceramic coated (this will be out of pocket). The total damage according to the estimate was 7,700 Euros which is crazy! 850 euros from that was loss of value paid directly to me. All in all just glad she's back and looking good again.
EDIT: Excuse the marks on the car, she killed a bunch of bugs on the way back from the dealership lol. I hate summer because of all the bugs.

 

Great! High quality work, as expected!
Got a new bumper a few weeks back.
Know the feeling....of damage and the fix!

 

Yeah, it looks good as new. It probably helps that the car is only a year and a half old so not as hard to blend the paint and stuff. They did a good job whoever the company that the Lexus dealership in Frankfurt, Germany uses.

 

For my bumper, they didn’t even seem to check the paint code.
They blended the paint based on spectrographic analysis of the existing
finish. I think that is the way these days.

 

My CT got hit the other day. not my fault. the estimator wrote aftermarket quarter panel and bumper. lexus OEM is cheaper... trying to get them to change that right now.. wtf.

glad to hear your body work came out perfect.

 

Damn, that really sucks. I had the company that the Lexus dealership over here uses do the estimate and send it to the insurance company.

 

Yeah the body shop I took it to, I had Lexus send me to. But i guess the estimator (my insurance company) decided to write up a/m stuff. I talked to him and he said no problem he'll change it. just gotta follow up and make sure he did it..
