My sister got in an accident in the 190 and i need to find a body shop that does good work. Can anyone recommend one? It was hit in the front so i need mebe a fender bumper, and align panels. I don't really know, bc I haven't seen teh damage yet.

Damn, now I understand why you don't want to leave the C43 at home to be used in the "family" pool of cars. How nice of a job are you looking for?

Yeah, my sister wasn't paying attention, playing music, and talking on the phone:rolleyes: and ran a red light. I'm looking for a good job. I don't want t o cheap out on it, but we don't want to pay an arm and a leg. It's gonna be all out of pocket. the guy my sister was nice enough not to file, since he had minimal damage (said 300-600 max) and my parents don't want our premiums going up.

Yeah, I understand. You saw the work done on my 190E when we met up. If that makes the cut, let me know and I'll forward the shops info to you.

yeah send me the info on the place that did yours. I don't rememebr where u said it was, but I need it to be in the city. The car scrapes over bumps so I don't want to drive it that far.

Doesn't sound like it would work out as the shop is in Novato.

yeah we're just gonna bring it to our shop we usually go to. Its gonna cost us $1700 and thats with the 'good cust' discount....

btw. I need a new headlight for the 190. Where did you get the euro ones, or would u be willing to sell your old set (dot ones)?
