Doesn't 't look so bad in those pictures,, let's hope the 4 wheel alignment check doesn't show anything additional, otherwise it's only a little more than chips away and a valet...fingers crossed! :D
I'm sure it will look great afterwards, it was a good one before.

I know this will end up being yet another mint 610 in the club, as said it doent look too bad. I am just glad your insurance company paid out to keep another alpine on the road.
