If the Maserati was circa £9.4k, and a bumper is £2k/tricky to find, is there not a greater value in these for slowly breaking and selling parts? (Assuming you don't want to repair the car for yourself?)
Yes, there will certainly be more money in parts, but this one is getting fixed, then I’ll decide if I keep it or sell my 987.2S boxster! And… It arrived!!

Starts and drives fine but battery was flat.
The alarm keeps going off and the keys need to be synchronised as they dont lock/unlock the car on the button.
Doesn’t look like there is any structural damage behind the bumper.
It hit an animal. Hairs everywhere!
Sounds glorious, will put a video up later!

So what you thinking just a bumper and a headlight now then??
Sounds bloody lovely though
To do / to buy list:Sounds bloody lovely though
• Bumper + respray (booked for 3rd June)
• LH Headlight (might do away with a new lenses from a non-xenon unit - cheaper)
• Front LH indicator
• Front grille
• Alarm / central locking: need to send the keys and alarm module to Abaccus Alarms in South London for reprogramming (they deal with 3200/4200gt alarms)
• MOT
• full service
• trip to Le Mans departing June 12th 5:20am

This is awesome, I have massive envy ??. Beautiful colour combo.
Also for 2 grand per bumper I reckon I'd enjoy experimenting with plastic welding, etc to see if the broken one could be salvaged. I appreciate that could be a fools errand though.
Good luck OP.
I will give it a try this summer then sell it on ebay for £1.5kAlso for 2 grand per bumper I reckon I'd enjoy experimenting with plastic welding, etc to see if the broken one could be salvaged. I appreciate that could be a fools errand though.
Good luck OP.

What car on copart are you bidding on this week and is coming next week?
No more bidding in the foreseeable future!But it’s a thrilling way to buy a car, a bit like xmas for grown ups… the search, the wait, the expectation, the surprise and (hopefully not a lot of) disappointment.
I had a near escape with a wandering badger a couple of years ago....fortunately it was a glancing blow (just caught the near side front) & my CLS only had a cracked bumper which my excellent smart repairer pieced back together. If the badger had been a foot further in to the road It’d have probably been the same outcome as the Maser - a new headlight is at least £1k & this is why some insurers are using secondhand parts.
A Maser Gransport definitely gives me “the jizz”
Good luck with the project OP

Wow it looks and sounds fantastic.
Good luck getting it fixed in time for Le Mans. I have to admire your exceptional braveness, and am looking forward to the updates already!
Thanks, I just realised this morning...the sound was with the exhaust flaps closed, I haven't put it into Sport mode yet! Good luck getting it fixed in time for Le Mans. I have to admire your exceptional braveness, and am looking forward to the updates already!

Must admit this thread had me looking at a Cat S 911 with what looked like simple to repair damage... Not sure that should be the first foray into it
