Best of luck with the fix! If it took 2.5 months to fix my junker it should take considerably less time to fix yours I would think

Either way make sure that state farm is going to pay for genuine parts, tell them if they don't you know a very very upset (former) customer of theirs who's seriously considered blowing that building in Greeley up Only kidding of course

Yeah, we figured that one out early on. The pump actually faired better than I thought. Thanks though

A little tweak was all...its the cost of using OEM parts I am assuming. The air compressor is only $270 though

SHE'S FIXED!!! ***WITH PICS***

BEFORE:



AFTER:














Huge thanks to Nylunds Collision in Denver...they are amazing and the work they do in unmatched by anyone. IMO the car is better than it was before it got hit.

Huge thanks also goes to Carl aka Blacksport for referring me to Nylunds and helping with the conversion...sorry to hear you sold your 55

Its flawless!

Other than the obvious E63 front end you would swear it was factory new.

Cool

Nice job. I love the E63 front end. The lower mesh just looks so right. Overall, it looks perfect. How does it drive? Any pull (left-right) when you drive? Squeaks? I was sold on a silver one but, after look at ya pics i might just go black.

Sweet!!!!!

Did the insurance pay for the new style bumper no problem or did they want to do the original 55 bumper? Looks good!
