crash
hi guys,
worst day of my life happened 7 months ago. was driving home at 3 in the morning and a 17 yr old in his dads porsche with no license and drinkin ran a red light and hit me. the front of the car was smashed but luckily no engine damage.
the chassis was bent slightly and the front pillars, bumper, hood and radiator needed to be replaced and its taken a while but shes back together.
ive got a normal e class bumper on her now and the engine is perfect again.
ive also got an amg bumper ready to rock back home which ill finish over christmas and put back on the car.
ive got a few kinks to work out to get her back in original condition:
steering wheel motor was dislodged in the crash and needs to be sorted
i need to replace the stock light with new black lighs which i had before
paint the new front grill
put together the amg bumper and paint and install
sort out the parking sensors on the front to install on the amg bumper
install the crystal side indicators and paint the covers
ive also just got new K&N air filters, a sprint booster and new bits to install so ill give you guys a run through of the new upgrades and tell you how they work.
also i need to buy new wheels as my dad has stolen my 19" black AMG alloys and put them on his white 2003 SL55AMG! right now shes sitting on 17" dirty multi spoke sl alloys. nasty
if anyone has had a bang can they explain any problems and solutions they came accros in the repair stages?
pics uploaded are of before crash, in the workshop and after workshop while i still had my wheels before dad got his hands on them

Sorry to hear about your accident but I am glad you like the car enough to put it back together. I am truly sorry truly sorry to hear about the Chassis, just make sure it it dead straight again, thats one of the most important issues in any car after an accident, far more crucial than body panels .
Take care.
