Just to note: Woody knows a lot more about this stuff than I ever will and I value his advice above mine. The thing about it is that in a case like this, he could spend an hour with a slide hammer and make more progress than I could in a week. He may not realize that not all of us have his skills.

Agreed. Too bad I am nowhere near Texas! If I could do it myself I would but going to search for an experienced bodyman to do the job. Looks like I am all in now. I even plan on changing the bumper cover to the GT3.

Part needed

I had the owner of a shop come out today to see the car and he said it's very doable but said I need to replace the front piece which is #1 in the diagram. I have found entire front clips available but he said its not needed.

Currently looking for part #1 if anyone knows where I can get one or has it please let me know

I called the dealer and I can get it new as well and has to be ordered from Germany so that's my last resort.
