Yeah, i totally agree, it's too big to fit ANYWHERE nicely on an FD

Haha, I hadn't noticed that/am curious too! (as well as what happened) Good to hear you've got a replacement on the way already though.

I was going to get on a highway (don't know the english word for the ramp/path) i was going 60 KM/H as i could see the road was VERY slippery with leaves and water.
Suddently the back end just lost the contact to the road, and began to spin.
It hit a Roadsign, and a truckbattery (after those things got hit, it got thrown about 10 metres away )
Luckily the car is a RHD model, and it's only the left side which got hit!

The car is a 400HP Kleeman tuned Mercedes 320CDI (acutally an old taxi )

We got the car up on a lift, to see how much damage there was under the car.
I'll let the picture speak for itself

If it;s a diesel that makes sense but does looks odd.
I cant imagine towing my FD with my old C32.

(a model picture)
It got around 500 HP (just talked to my friend who owns the car) and NM enough to almost pull titanic up again
His girlfriend has a model just like his, and she uses it to pull horsetrailers.

Put yeah, acutally such a benz looks quite small compared to an FD3s

We call it an on-ramp lol.

It looks like your car might be salvageable actually. I'm not sure about the body work, but it looks like the suspension, linkages, subframe, etc could be replaced and be good again. But maybe I'm not seeing everything haha.

Is it really that simple? An on-ramp? :-D well, i just learned something new then.

My insurrance got the car right now, so it's jo to them to decide if it kan be rebuild, or they'll have to pay for a new one (the grey one)
I know more about all this tomorrow (friday)

They just look like Work XD-9s to me. Just looks like rear wheel offset on the front wheels for the deep lip. Maybe I'm wrong though.

you are correct the wheels are work xd-9

Good choice. Wish I did the +18 rear, but band aide with some spacers.
