    Default Minor Accident - Suggestions?

    Yesturday my mom was driving on Macleod Trail and when braking ended up hitting a Land Rover Freelander in front of her. The Land Rover sustained very minor damage (the total extent of it being a broken light cover). The RL on the other hand got minorly pwned. No airbags deployed, however the hood looks quite done in.

    Does anyone have suggestions as to a good place to take the car to get this fixed, Right now it looks just like a new hood/grill. Also, a ballpark on a new hood?

    Thanks for any input.

    is the rad support bent? that hood can be pricey depending on where you get it and where you get it painted and as for the grill id say go to acura.

    looks pretty minor. and there doesn't look like there is any frame damage is is good.

    if there were any it would be very very minor. you will probably need a new hood but you should be able to get the rad support back into shape if you know what you are doing.

    other wise it looks like the fenders are sitting there fine and all you would really really need to worry about is the hood and possible the clamp assembly thing

    looks minor but take a good long look around in that area...just to make sure you haven't pinched any hoses or wiring. also make sure nothing else is damaged.

    Looks like the rad support has buckled. You may be able to bend it back, but if not, then it will require welding.
