Might be a moot point, but that headlight assembly can be found for ~8-900 if you ask the right dealer. $1320 is what VW quotes as MSRP but lots of places sell for less. If they're using all VW part prices then I'm not surprised it'll be that much. If they're willing to work with you (and you with them) I'm sure you could bring down that part cost a good bit.
Day did not end well for me... Too much lift off oversteer on turn 8 during one of my time attack laps and ended up in the wall. Good news is, no fluid leaks or CEL, car will need new front and rear bumpers, quarter panels and a headlight, but hoping there is no major mechanical damage. Made it home under my own power but stuck to the back roads. Will know soon what we're looking at for cost. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.
All good. We'll be back up and running soon. (Expensive) Lessons learned.
That is good to hear. Thanks!
Those pics make a really compelling argument for a Miata in the garage
Would highly recommend it
Already looking forward to some track days next season.
Thanks for saying that. It's been really tough to stay patient and positive through all this. I really wanted to make sure the repairs were done properly. I'm having the body work done by a very reputable local shop (Mike's of Malden) who is working with UCC to have new panels ceramic coated to match once paint is applied.
