Bad news . good luck with the repair.

Seems to be pretty fixable I alse have once had a small engine fire. It looked like an inferno but when starting to take off burnt pieces it was not a big deal afterall.

Good that the paintwork on the hood survived the fire.

Good luck with the repairs .

The paintwork didnt survive.. the hood is bent, it has a BIG dent in the middle... need a new hood, my wings need respray, also the engine bay..

luckily, the spark cables are fine so there was no fire...

good luck with the repair, the cars looks great!
