Check your blind spot!
This is what happens when someone decides to make a lane change without checking their blind spot, turning on their blinker and then shoving their car into another lane.

Ask your dealer for the best body shop they deal with to ensure they can match the paint....citron is a cool color, but it would look like crap if they botch the paint job.

Looks like you're out about $100-200 too. The impact strips and 211 blickers probably won't be covered under insurance, they will want to replace it with original parts!
I'd keep quiet about those items too, cause if the other drivr stated "I couldn't see his car" someone might catch on you're missing a side indicator and somehow you might be blamed partially for the accident.

I always do check my blindspot. BTW, Mazda Miatas are hard to see even when you check the blindspot. God help the poor motorcycle riders. 
Anyone who can miss a car painted that color must be blind. . .forget the blindspot.

not only the euro mirror, there was W211 indicator and euro rub strip i have top replace as well. I have already contacted Steve about ordering them.
The body shop I havce my car at did the grill and the rear quarter panel when another lady backed into me. He matched it perfectly so Im not worried about that. I did get a quote of $4500 worth of damage and 3 weeks till I get my car back.

And 3 weeks for the insurance to get the check to the body shop, 2 weeks to get the adjuster out there blah blah blah
You will be lucky to see your car back in 2 months. Sorry to hear what happened bro. People are just fukin LAME at driving and caring.
