could be the first mm03 in the body shop

[Ray Snyder]

Well this may be a sad first for me. Crunched my MM03 on Friday. So back to the dealership for $4500 in Repairs, Don't smash the front bumper it's $1,164.38, before paint.

If Logan gives me an idot's lesson in adding digitals to the thread, I'll post some pictures.

I don't want to see it...breaks my heart! Very sorry to hear that, I've had a couple "close calls" already (ATL drivers...especially COBB County...sorry Bill, had to do that)

Take care and make sure they make "her" look new again!

Ray,

What did you hit? Did your airbags deploy? Hopefully you were not hurt. Very sad.

Ouch! Sorry to see that, Ray. Hope nobody got hurt.

OWW! *cries*

Glad to see you are ok! my car is in the shop right now (went into the ditch). Would you do me a favor and get the part number when they order the new grille to install? I really need that because i cannot get a new grille!

Ray,

Sorry to see that.... ..Is everyone involved okay? Mercury is definitely proud of that front bumper assembly...what a price..

I have also had a couple close calls already, As Todd said Atlanta is the place for bad drivers, especially in Fulton county... (Sorry Todd, I had to stand in for Bill, he has a very ill family member)

/me runs away screaming down to the parking lot.

oh yeah ps.... use www.fordpartsnetwork.com

you will have to write a parts request form. i think you can get the front bumper for about $919... a good deal cheaper!

[Logan]

That's list price... God bless the garages for screwing the insurance companies..

Real people price is typically 50% of list...

Damn, looks like you hit something with a high bumper. SUV or pickup?
Looks like everything needs to be replaced. Bumper, fender, hood and grille, plus the headlights.
Could be a simple bolt on of replacement parts and paint with no bodywork.

I am truly sorry you had this happened to your new car. I hope no one was hurt. It looks from the pictures that parts replacement will do the trick, don't allow any patch work. Send pictures when you get her looking new again. Good luck !!! Smokie.
