Need Help Fixing My 2003 Yellow Beetle

[maddiisunshine]

My car was totaled while my sister was using it, and I don't know where to start. The front bumper for instance, would a OE Beetle Cover Replacement work? And if so, how would I go about getting the grill to look right. Any help would be great. Thanks!

That's a total?

That lower grill should be easy enough to fix. It pops right out and you can put in a replacement grill for about 80 bucks or less. Did you have fog lights or not? Here is a link some aftermarket grills:

Heck, Insurance companies go by the Nada Black Book Value.
It is cheaper for them to total the vehicle than try to fix it.

The dent is in the quarter panel, the rear fender, and the rocker. And because of how the NB has such large body panels, I can certainly see how that's a total. Those are big parts to replace, and then you'd likely need paint too.

My accident was almost $8k worth of damage and it was basically all cosmetic (though my airbags deployed and the frame was bent).
