Accident Today
Today, an 80 year old decided he was going to run a stop sign and demolish my front bumper and ruin the gearshift linkage. Anyway, need a new front bumper cover.
Anyone have an expressions front bumper and/or sideskirts in stock? Need them ASAP.

the clk is still good
damage is minimal. His insurance will pay and this is a top notch bodyshop i am taking it too. Plus I get a free lorinser dtm bumper and 2 free detailing vouchers, in addition to them fixing any scratches and removing and small dents that are on the car now. 
Im beginning to think this accident was a good thing.

I did no such thing
I took no advantage of him. He ran a stop sign, not me! Furthermore, I tried to amicably resolve the dispute outside of insurance but he got nasty and refused. When you get in an accident that is your fault, the least you could do is be civil.

sorry if u took offense... it was meant to be a joke...
and trust me, i've been through the same situation. an old man hit me in back, and he was all yellin and stuff... there was no damage, but he sure made a big fuss about it... some older folks are like that.

thanks
thank you all for your concern. But the damage is really minimal. Just need 2 new headlights a bumper and some frame work and im all set. I am going to let the bodyshop fix it as long as the other guys insurance is paying. Maybe ill even tell them to try to get a hold of the euro xenons?
In any case the car will be done a week from the 27th or sooner! Ill even post a picture of the rental.
The bad part is the other guys insurance called today and said I might have some liability in the accident, which I definitely dont.
Look at the picture of my car in park.

U sure your frame isnt damageD?
If the gearshift moved, this means the engine trans assmebly shifted. It is designed to drop out of the car in an impact, specifically frontal, I hope that isnt the case for you.
