Hey guys. I'm Peter, I'm 20, and I'm from Berkshire.

Back in early April, I found a gorgeous silver 1997 Z3 Roadster 2.8 for an excellent price. I bought it on the spot. Sadly, less than 10 days later while waiting in traffic, someone reversed into me, badly denting the bonnet, while also snapping the plastic mounting clips of one of the front lights.

Insurance wrote it off, and no repair shop would do the job for less than £4k, but I finally found a shop who agreed to paint and fit second hand parts for under a grand. I found the parts, and fast forward 2 months later, its back on the road!

Hi Peter and a warm welcome from me. Nice that you kept it on the road. Any pics to share? And where did you get your car repaired? It might help other members out especially if your happy with the result.
Yep, sure :) I got it repaired at Telford Paint and Body, lovely owner and it looks great.
