I'm thinking a quality respray is in order after the winter, but it doesn't look too bad right now. Of course, my car is AW so the holes and markings are much more noticeable than they would be on say a black car. |
Sorry to hear about that. Are you planning to leave the plate off? If not, i wonder how much the body shop will charge. Since itll be out of pocket and assuming not a insurance claim, it shouldnt be on car fax report as a damage/repair claim.
