into a highway on-ramp divider. Don't ask how...this is what happens when you drive stupidly fast without knowing how to check the oversteer...or when your confidence exceeds your abilities!Managed to drive the car home but radiator leaked so it's more or less grounded until I decide where to send it.Roughly, I'm looking at:1. Bonnet2. LHS fender3. LHS headlamps4. Grille5. RR bumper (ripped apart during 360 degree spin, surprisingly FR is fine)6. Radiator (plus hoses? mountings? can't see enough to tell)7. Knocking front structure into shape (radiator mount area)8. Paint for all of the above (pearl white)Chop shop quoted RM700 for 1-5, plus mudguard (what's this?). Forgot to ask about radiator.I'm waiting for an estimate from one mech., but wondering if anyone has suggestions especially where to get parts & what bodyshop to use?FYI the car is in Bandar Utama, near centerpoint/1utama. I know there's a few places around there but not sure where to go.Looking for the absolute cheapest way to sort this mess out...I'm dead broke so don't bother with your racuning, just help me out here!cheers, drools

Roughly, I'm looking at:

2. LHS fender
3. LHS headlamps
4. Grille
5. RR bumper (ripped apart during 360 degree spin, surprisingly FR is fine)
6. Radiator (plus hoses? mountings? can't see enough to tell)
7. Knocking front structure into shape (radiator mount area)
8. Paint for all of the above (pearl white)

In technical terms,
Mud guard also stand for the small flap which stick onto the end of wheel arch for each wheel which used to restrict the mud or sand splash on the door or rear bumper....

Hope this help....
 
here's what zaskar have but its in my place...maybe you can offer him.. :)


I oso got some freebies to give...need to clear my place for renovation...please..please..come la scared ah..?? :)
 
Hi Drools,

yup the stuff i have may be of use to you, the nosecut you see are for my engine transplant and Zoggee kor kor has kindly allowed to stored at his place (not for long i arrure him). I don't need most of it but its cheaper to buy a nose cut and scavange from it rather than buy individual parts. There are lots of interesting stuff there, headlights, grills are available as well as bumpers front and rears also some choice mtech and zender stuff are available. Do drop me a PM if you're interested. ;)
 
Thanks to all for the feedback. Seems like I'm sorted for parts, thanks to tyke's kind assistance.

will update once the job's done...

I think Magicfox did posted up a map to my place(PNDC) :nyehehe: in the wakeboarding thread... ;)
 
tyke, new abs are not too costly, full set fronts and rears for less than 1k, your life is worth more than that.
