    Looks like he may have nosed in to a high curb. Not too bad really Noah, a little sanding and some spray touch up, I wouldn't go to crazy with a body shop on that Noah.

    I would certainly charge your customer for the offense though. Then again, I'm sure you have already done so...

    As Michael said, could have been a LOT worse. :-(

    All Ferrari front valances are going to get crunched sooner or later. It is inevitable. My 308, with a Euro front valance, had it happen twice. My TR spoiler has been crunched once (thanks to a fvckin' raccoon!), and got scuffed a few weeks ago. Que sera sera...

    Word. That definitely makes me feel better -- I'm hoping that you're right Michael that some sanding and spraying will fix 'er up.

    And yes, the customer will be paying for it, but of course I'd rather go to him with a $500 bill for a touchup than a $6000 bill for bumper replacement + loss of use for the weekend while it's being fixed...

    the red 360s first battle scar after 8 months of rentals. not bad at all!

    damage doesnt look too severe. just think of it this way....at least he didnt tear the bumper off the car.

    Rob has a guy that's gonna help me clean it up (I have a big client taking the car Monday -- not enough time to do a full repair), but it'll go to CC after that.

    Noah, That taylor I know out here can fix your car too. GEt shirts made , and get car fixed all in one trip. He's also the neighborhood barber, runs the bait and tackle shop and pizza place.

    nah, you just put the wax on really thick and then put an EC sticker on top of it... blends right in.
