Not sure about the door and fender, but the front and rear bumper are compose of really soft plastic (not fiberglass), like urethane. It almost surprises me that the front bumper looks so crumpled like that.

Talk about rare, Alpine interior + no sunroof!

If you don't crash every once in a while, you're not trying hard enough...

Damage looks pretty bad. But at least the journalist lived. Not sure if he'll get to do another article after this incident. Meanwhile, all I can think of is how I can get my hands on that LSD
