I'll probably be replacing the bumper with an OEM GT3 (Mk-I) bumper and look to get the rest of the parts from other locations.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yesterday I brought the car in for the required state inspection. When the shop guy put it up on the rack, I got underneath to see how everything looked.
Well, if any of you remember my first post...
...I hit a retread from a semi on the drive back home. And it looks like I broke a few things.
The front bumper sustained the brunt of the damage. The underpinings at the bottom are still there but the bumper plastic that surrounds them has been sheared off. Only a single screw is holding the bottom of the bumper on. Furthermore, the undertray located in front of the engine was cracked and is hanging free just to the front of the drvier's side rear tire. Lastly, the brake cooling fin attached to the passenger side front lower control arm is floating freely.
I will be contacting the insurance company on Monday. I my be able to start the mod process sooner than anticipated, but this is not the way I originally wanted to proceed. I'll probably be replacing the bumper with an OEM GT3 (Mk-I) bumper and look to get the rest of the parts from other locations.
It starts.

Nah...I have a b*tch of a cold right now, it's 20 deg in the garage right now and it pretty straight forward. Not a big deal. Just thought I might post the outcome to my little adventure.

i missed the initial post about the damage, but it sounds like you've got a handle on it.
we need to chat - i'm (again) thinking of going the way you did. curious about a few things. hopefully after the holidays - busy busy busy here.
congrats!
Thanks!! As for wax, nothing yet. As I mentioned, this car is AS NEW. My buddy that rode back with me after the delivery thought that no one has ever sat in the passenger seat.
