B5 got hit in the parking lot..

[DJKerbal]

At work, a guy's e-brake failed and his car rolled into mine.. he left his info and all for me, and his insurance is covering it, and I already have a body shop that's going to do it... only thing is, what to get. I've heard a '96 trunk lid and an S4 bumper. Any other ideas? The body shop that I'm going through pretty much said 'whatever you want, as long as it fits and it's your responsibility if it doesn't, then we'll do it for you.' So... options are open. Ideas? Here's pics of the damage from Wednesday:









and now pics from today for a few hours of snowing:

so where did da snow go???
( i know it melts but??)

I still don't know what the difference is between a trunk from a 96 a4 vs every other year b5. That's cool the guy left a note, was this on base? I know in the civilian world things like that are rare around me, I see people all the time hitting other cars (often intentionally when parking) and driving off without leaving any info..

96' MY had the Euro plate cutout instead of the US plate cutout. Go with a Euro S4 bumper from TMTuning or Avalon Motorsports. Or go CF trunk lid!

Nice Altezza!

[aytheory]

dang you are in Alaska - how is it up there - other then the obvious cold

Euro S4 bumper, Euro '99.5 > '01.5 trunk (modified)...




Euro '95 > '99.5 trunk...




Euro '99.5 > '01.5 trunk (standard)...




Note, the Euro '99.5 > '01.5 trunk can be opened from the outside, either with the third button on the keyfob, the lock itself, or by the micro-switched touchpads under the licence plate plinth.

Fucking sucks...all there is to do is drink (unless you like hunting/fishing/camping, the outdoors stuff...which I'm not into.) Winter, there's awesome snowboarding. The summer, it's daylight for like 23 1/2hrs a day..

wow that picture of the 997 is hot, I have about 7 of them in my motor pool and they all suck but the ac in the back is nice in the summer time. Sucks about your car though.
