That said, I was not aware that the bodywork had to be done- or that the car had been in an accident. h: (How soon they forget, eh?) In closing, the pragmatic solution is to go with OEM steel fenders and an OEM bumper rather than fragile CF parts. If I were in your shoes, that's what I'd do.
Thanks for the input!
