CSL v's M3 - Exact part differences needed!!

[TANKSLAPPER]

I hope things get sorted quickly for you.

No one likes to see a CSL write off

[_Nathan_]

I'm sure some do as in their heads it makes their cars more valuable

[AlexGTT]

Very sorry to see this but more importantly glad you are OK. Hate to see nice cars damaged. Seems worse when someone else causes the damage. Hope you get sorted and back in a suitable replacement soon.

Are we talking about a certain toll road in Germany?

:whistle:

Hope you get everything sorted soon...

[Jaw_F430]

As others have said glad your ok, just hope you can get sorted out with money or another car etc

[shimmy]

craig

any idea yet about ow bad the body and chassis is?

i reckon best bet is either to brake it and sell the bits or sell the nice CSL interior and then seel the engine and shell for a race car (or make the race car and sell it for CSL cup or other series)

[Justin]

Fook me Craig, I feel for ya:bigcry: Glad your ok though and that's the main thing. Ring's a scary place for sure, especially with the speeds we get up to in a CSL, and it doesn't help when it's full of numpties who haven't a clue how to drive it. Hope you can salvage something out of it.

I hope things get sorted for you mate :thumbs:

So sorry to see Craig - hate to see a pride a joy in that state.

I am of the opinion that the car is very repairable though - there's no cracked windscreens and the majority of damage seems to be concentrated on suspension arms and few minor chassis components (and the extensive cosmetic damage).

Good luck with your law suit and wish the best outcome for you.

[Craig]

Yes, it was a certain foreign road where I'm covered TPO only. As said, once everything is done and dusted I'll post a full write up and pictures it was an un-avoidable wrong place and wrong time incidents.

The car doesn't look too bad but the strut tower has come away from the body too (photos to follow) and the windscreen is broken. However all round the engine bay is perfect, thank god... even though it snapped the strutbrace off the mounts the airbox and engine are all fine.

I guess it's just one of these set backs in life, I'd like to say the money has come easy but it hasnt I have worked for it and will continue to work hard to fund any future purchases and of course my petrol head obsession lol.

Good on you Craig, that's the attitude :thumbs:Being a petrol head certainly is an obsession...

Re: Chin-up.

Thankfully everybody involved is ok Craig, cars are replaceable.

Chin-up mate.

Absolutely gutted for you, worst nightmare not even duck tape could have got you home.

If you choose to rebuild it I'm sure there are all the parts you need hanging around here. If you forget resale and just get it up and running for track then you can do it cheaper in the short term. Or even sell some of the interior to fund the major repairs.

Agreed - that's what i would do to mine if similar happened.

Track slag to the max! :thumbs:

[Craig]

I'd like to re-build it as a stripped and caged track car, but fear the damage to the shell is to excessive... I'm pretty good when it comes to working on car's but have never actually attempted to repair a car with this much damage.

Here's some further pictures showing you what I mean about shell damage. If anyone know's anyone who would be able to give me an answer on if this is 100% un-repairable then it'd be much appreciated.
