I fucked up
yesterday I was driving in busy traffic. Nobody was speeding (maybe like 25-30mph) but all the cars were close. guy in front of me slammed on his brakes cause the guy in front of him did the same. he just missed hitting, I wasn't so lucky. car behind me swerved out of the lane and missed me. my car actually went right under the hyundai in front of me... I'm not really sure what all needs to be replaced on my car, definitely the hood and maybe the driver's side headlight. S4 grille is gone. I think the bumper is alright everything under the hood is alright. my front radiator or whatever that is has a dent in it but it seems to work fine. luckily the car I hit wasn't damaged at all, not even a scratch.. he still called the cops though and I'm getting fined for driving too close and also being too low (wtf) and maybe for driving after inspection was due and also maybe for my stickers (wtf). I went for inspection after clearing my cel and I guess I didn't drive the car long enough and it wasn't ready for emissions testing, the shop gave me a paper that said I can drive for 30 days but the cop said it was bullshit. had to get my car towed because he wouldn't let me drive a car that low..
here's a picture of the other car..
so I'm not sure how much this will cost all together, so far it was $150 for a 40 mile tow. I have no idea how much the fines will be. I'm on the lookout for a europa hood. shokan said they have some for $275 but can't ship. checked some local junkyards but none have europa. I have an oem rs4 grille up for sale for $120 obo, I'll sell my merc wheels for $500. I guess I won't be buying my car anything for christmas.
if anyone here with a europa blue a4 wants a cf hood or something, I'll buy yours!

My heart dropped when I saw this aha, I hate seeing such clean cars being fucked up. Those japanese cars don't like us Europa guys huh? Seems like the cop was pouring salt on a wound with all of those stupid fines, bunch of bullshit I tell you!

lol well hyundai is korean, I wouldn't blame it on him though. I wish europa parts weren't so hard to find. you should just trade hoods with me and get insurance to get you a new one if yours is still good and you're going through insurance. what happened to your car?

hey man, i know its a long shot but have you looked into getting a body shop to match your paint? might be easier to buy and prep a more common colored hood like black or silver, then pay a body shop to spray it.
