Fiesta Accident

Yes, the whole door will be replaced. This is the reason for the 2 weeks wait.

Thanks for the tip. I myself did not perform a visual check if the structure was deformed.

After exactly 1 week, nakuha na namin our LiMo.

Kulang pa sa sticker yung brand new door, kaya ibabalik pa pag meron na stock. If you look closely sticker lang yung black portion ng mga doors.

Nice! From the side on picture, the shut line looks good.

How's the quality of the paint? You will probably have to go in to have it refinished after a month if the "masilya" settles... but otherwise, it looks pretty good!

The paint is indistinguishable from the original. The patchwork on the hole is slightly obvious. The door is brand new.

Since I'm not too particular on the looks, I'm satisfied on how things turned out.

As to the settling, even if does, I won't leave it at the casa for another week. I will just include such small things in a "hilamos" way in the future outside the casa.

The repair looks good! I suggest you wait 2 weeks to one month before getting the paint polished and waxed. That will give the paint time to cure itself and give out a lasting shine...

Also, the missing stickers can be DIY'ed with Carbon Fiber sticker instead.

No danger of me polishing early hehehe...

CF immediately came to my mind but I'll give the casa a bit more time to come up with the stickers. This will also let the paint on the door frame harden more.

OT: Can you point to the thread of your HID plans?
