AC Condenser Damage

I ran over a Boxspring matress on the xpessway. No i could not avoid it. It killed my front dumper and AC condenser. If I get the Condenser do I need anything else other then recharging the system. Maybe the evaporator? Please help

Thanks

Whats your insurance deductible? It may be worth reporting this to your insurance. As for your question I dont know the answer.

I will be getting a used condenser from Mazparts. So it might come out cheaper. I may also just get the Mazdaspeed bumper

Whoever replaces your condenser should know that re-gassing has to be done.

While your bumper is off or repaired, I recommend you install the Hymee grille protector, it is the best and only brand which maintains the desired airflow to your condenser, and will protect it from large stones.

Sorry to hear about the damage, mate.
