Default Help, Wrecked Xb RS 3.0, need parts!

Hi All,
I am so sad. My fiance got in a wreck in my new Xb RS 3.0!! I was wondering if anyone can help me find some new parts cheaper than the dealer. I dont really want to claim it on insurance.

The front bumper and the lower body kit piece is toast in the front. Also both drivers and passengers front fenders are buckled and creased right over the tire. I have not taken it in for an estimate yet so i dont know if anything underneath is damaged yet. I know i need those 4 pieces already. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

you should take it in, you've most likely got a good deal of frame damage, and if you try to bolt up new parts without fixing that, well it just won't work, your core support is probably tweaked, is the radiator leaking? does the a/c still work?

If it is just a couple scratch and dents, i have ordered from this place for various things. They pretty much have the entire car there.

If it were out of warranty I'd say yes, cheap out on the repair. If you do this rigged fix and ever need warranty work they will use this to the max to deny coverage. Get it fixed right and NEVER let others drive your Toaster PERIOD. Consider this a valuable lesson. Plus most insurance companies have first accident forgiveness.

Well i am taking it in to get fix. There is more damage than i though. around $2000-3000. Insurance is going to pay b/c it was technically a hit and run. The person we collided with left the sceen of the accident. Thanks for all the replies.

Are you in Tucson still or elsewhere? If you're in Tucson take the car to Photo Finish. They just did some repair work on my RS3 and I couldn't be happier! They do phenomenal work! I just hope for your sake that the RS3 grill didn't get hurt... They are $900 from the dealer, UNPAINTED!
