[PICS] My 8 got smashed. What damage was done?

Story and pics in regional forum.
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...=1#post1476195

I decided to ask in this forum also. Basically I collided in the intersection with another car, although it was not at high speed.

My question is what type of repair work will I need to request the repairer to do?
I know the obvious such as bumper, quarter panel, wheels, axel, oil cooler and radiator but is there anything else I should be aware of?

Check out the pics in the post to see.

I am worried because I don't want my insurer and repairer to take the cheap way out and overlook certain repairs that may not be obvious.

For example, I am worried about the suspension and other structural damage. The untouched panels all seem aligned but I just want to be sure.

What you need is an overall inspection by a professional. It's kinda hard to make a judgement like that from a computer by just seeing photos.
