Wow! thats terrible!
Atleast you have a friend willing to help out

Yes, a couple of friends offered their help. I'm grateful for that.
So, after some discussions about what should I do, I decided to go this way:
- replace the bonnet
- replace the small triangular side window because of the broken weatherstrip
- replace the side windows' weatherstrips (duh, I imported my perfect set from the UK just an year ago and now they are broken)
- repair all dents
- remove the antenna and fill the gap
- remove the rear windshield spray nozzle and fill the gap
- respray the whole car

By the way, I'm looking for a good red pearl color similar to the original one which is Cassis Red Pearl (R-82P I think). If someone knows a good red peal color, please let me know

Thanks,
Daniel

After the hailstorm damage...

The color is Pomegranate Red Pearl, but it needs direct sunlight to shine in its full glory

Here is a closeup under better sunlight:

And the heart:

There is a lot more information to share, but I will do it when it's all finished (in a month, hopefully).

Wow that colour!

Back to perfection then?

I notice some subtle engine breathing mods there as well

Thanks

Only the crankshaft is the original one. Everything else in the engine has been upgraded/replaced. I'm currently driving the car carefully to break-in the clutch and the engine. I will leave the lude at Extreme Tuning in two weeks for the final upgrades including 76mm exhaust system, turbo manifold, oil catch tank upgrade and turbocharger installation, plus some other minor things.
The car will look as stock as possible. The intercooler is already installed and is painted in matte black. The blow-off valve will discharge in the intake system and the wastegate will discharge in the exhaust system. Everything will be in "ninja" mode
