Exactly, damaged my roof when I was stupidly flying my racing drone around the car. Costed me cca 1700USD to get scratch about 7cm long and 2 mm deep fixed 😔

What kind of a question is this? You take a damaged car to a body shop. Find a good one in your area.

Also, if you are thirsty I'd recommend a place that sells drinks.

Should you need something to eat, I'd recommend a restaurant.

Finally, if you are looking for a place to sleep for the night, I'd recommend a hotel.

Sounds like it's time for a carbon fiber roof

Vehicle is written off, going to get my cash soon and buy a manual one instead of DCT , basic spec and pocket the difference so worked out well on both fronts

Was going to post pics but after some of these geniuses comments above I decided not to waste my time, but thanks to the rest if you for good comments and points

Cheers

Good choice on the manual! Pulling a lever is definitely not as satisfying as a proper shift. Glad it worked out for you.
