Not an update one ever wants to do, but all in God's plans
On our way to shoot, with right of way at 3 stage traffic light, and a Yaris driver decided to jump a full blown red light. All liquids in the picture are from the Yaris.
Shukr (God kindness) , we were not hurt.
However the Z took damage to the following :
- Bumper
- Passenger fender
- Both headlights
- Edge of bonnet
- Cradle
- Fender liner
- Engine bottom tray
No damage to suspension, engine or chassis.
A long drawn battle with the insurance underwriters took place, whereby they 1st tried to write off the car, and pull it from the panel beater without my knowledge. I suspect some shenanigans was going on.
In Feb/march we finally got settlement, and began ordering parts. Everything is replaced with OEM from BMW.
The panel beater of choice is owned by a Fanatics member, INTERNATIONAL PANEL BEATERS and the service has been great thus far.
We are almost done with the car, and whilst it was there, I opted to strip it and do a full body respray to get it into the condition I always wanted.
We also sorted out seats bottoms which were showing their years in terms of sponge going flat, and redo all the soft touch plastics which peel over time.
I'll post pics of the work carried out as I sort out my gallery
