Title: No more crushed fender and chipped valence!! PICS
Post by: GrippyDrifty on May 02, 2006, 01:28:29 AM

So as you guys may recall, I rolled into a ditch a few weeks ago and killed my door and fender in the process. I immediately replaced the door, but drove around with my f'd up fender 'till today. I replaced it with a "new" one and painted it (was diamondschwarz) and my front valence. I also painted my grills and brake ducts. Enjoy:

Chipped valence with my "Ultra secret lip":

And all washed and pretty:

Nice work.

Hinged hood, interesting. Was the shock an option?

Take a look at yours.  It should be identical.  I know mine is.  The shock is there, it's just mounted on the inner engine bay fender well on the passenger side.  

Looks great GrippyDrifty!  Glad the gal is getting back to where she was pre-accident!  :D

Yup. Thanks folks. I made another little addition today that deserves another thread:D  Post pics later.
