That car is nowhere near needing a shell.
Bonnet,windscreen,sunroof a little tlc by a decent panel beater and the amount of fillers actually needed by the time the roof has been straightened out would be minimal.

Carbon and fibreglass bonnets have a nasty habit of flying up ,you really need rally car style bonnet pins to prevent it happening.
He was very lucky to avoid an even bigger accident at those sort of speeds.Well done. 8)

Agreed, that's extremely light panel damage. Must always use pins with CF bonnets.

The car was "quick-repaired" (new bonnet,windscreen,sunroof) in Germany to make it driveable home to Sweden where the bodywork will be taken care off.

This is how the car looked like after the repair in Germany.

One week prior to the accident we were down to the RS-meet in Ulm(Germany). On the way there we noticed that Eriks bonnet flexed during high speed. We talked about a solution but before he had a chance to get it fixed the accident happened. :(

Nice to see she's back on the road. Did they simply beat out the roof and fill it?
