    Thanks for caring guys

    Yeah i guess im pretty happy that the parts are replace able and i actually have half of the parts already. Im lucky my new fender wasnt on yet, and my HID's actually didnt break, they just got pushed in so im pretty happy about that. I've already changed the rear quarter window, however the front is a problem. The seal seems to be siliconed on, and the more i move it the more it breaks. I think ill need a new front seal.

    I have an idea of who did it but dont want to retaliate Huss haha. It would only make matters worse

    If anyone would happen to have a spare passenger mirror and a driver side headlight they would like to donate, it would be apreciated

    Police are invovled as one of the kids got injured by the group that came to crash it. They wont be able to find out who did what. I know the group who did it but dont know who the individuals were. I'll find out and take care of it later on haha

    Just concentrating on replacing everything for the time being to get it ready for the SW meet. Does anyone have tips of how to take off the windshield seal without tearing it, as i think the suns f*cked it. Where can i get replacements, or how can i take it off without breaking it.. i think its been siliconed on?

    Even when vandalized your car looks ****ing pimp! I've got a manual adjusting mirror here if you need it mate. The plastic is in pretty shocking condition but the glass is fine.

    George spray the window seals with windex as it helps them slide off the metal but you have to be very patient.

    dude that seriously sucks, what a bunch of fkn nobs...

    spray it with windex to soften to seals and then sit inside your car and using your feet apply even pressure on the perimeter of the glass, its laminated so it wont actually break anymore so long as your careful...had a windscreen bonded in and got it out this way

    I'm looking at this on my iPhone and it not easy to see but is there only the one dent in the middle of the bonnet?

    If so, paintless dent removal could be a cheaper way to go than a respray and/or new bonnet.

    Good luck with sorting it all out.
