Thread: Wrecked My NB, Brakes locked up in the rain tonight hitting an SUV.

  1. #1

    Default Wrecked My NB, Brakes locked up in the rain tonight hitting an SUV.

    Lady in front of my slammed on the brakes, as did i and i slid all the way into her, her car not a scratch i slid under the bumper, my car .... yikes

    Will definitively need a hood, driver side headlight, and perhaps passenger side fender and front bumper.

    The good news is the engine/radiator was not harmed and the car is still drive-able

    Any one with these parts to fix, please PM so i can get this thing looking back to normal again.

    Pictures of damaged:

    I got The hood and both fenders for $500 shipped to TX, Im pretty sure $150 was to ship everything.

    Since ive bought $500 worth of stuff from the guy, He is giving me a really good deal on a headlight, or else i would have picked the one up from you.

    When I had to fit the hood on the M3 it took about an hour to get it right. If you can get a helper to hold it as you open and close it works better. I found slightly tighten the hood but allow it to move under force was the best method.
