So looks like the idiot pulled in too wide with their Mini Van and hit my passenger front end.
I’ll be taking it to several body shops in the area for an estimate since the Mother came by and told me they would pay for it in case and not to report it to insurance else their rates will go sky high. BTW the kid just started driving last year.
Right off the bat looks like I’ll need a new right front fender, new passenger side blinker and headlight, the front bumper looks like it was damaged as well. The corner of the front hood took a hit also but not sure if they can just fix that rather then replacing the hood.
If I was in your situation I would ask a body shop for an estimate, get that amount money from the parents, then buy and fit new/used parts yourself and save the rest of the cash for a full respray. The whole car looks like it needs paint. Seems to me like there isn’t much of a point in just doing the hood and fender if the rest of the car has no clearcoat on it.
