Got my quote yesterday, remove headlining, front windshield, rear window, seat, cut out roof, new roof panel, hew head lining, new bonnet, respray these panels. (No new sharkfin).
£3-4k. So about $5,500 I think. Nasty.
I am now the proud driver of a 1.4l Kia Rio. Doesn't even have central locking, a/c, or elec windows, and don't get me started on the gearbox!!!
This'll be a long 2 1/2 weeks!
It could have been drunk sailors, you know how they can be. Or maybe it was pirates or vikings! At least it would make a good story. You could have the car modified and make it a convertable.

Anyways enjoy driving the tub (Rio), it will make you appreciate your baby that much more.

Looking at this makes me sick to my stomach. I feel for you. Please let us know how it turns out. Just remember... Karma is a bitch. They will get theirs!

My guess is it was drunken gay sailors dancing on the cars as if it was a music video!

P.S. I hope they get theirs!!
