Not familiar with European repair prices, but in the US, that repair would be at least $14,000. Depends on how much interior damage there was when the airbags went off. Sometimes windows are damaged, or windshield won't seal.

Hmmm. Blown airbags means a salvage title in the US. 2 corners bent, front and rear bumper covers, lights, probably needs a chassis pull. Needs a hood, maybe a tail. That's just from the small pics I can see.

Awfully expensive especially as there's a GT2 (02 or 03) with 11k mi for $65K in Ca for sale.

Are you sure? I had airbags blow in a 10mph collision in my old M3. Total repair cost was less than $4G, as it was all superficial damage, and the title was still clean after it was fixed. I don't think a car gets a salvage title unless it is declared a total loss by an insurance company. This was ten years ago, so I suppose the law could have changed.

seth, you could be right. You were lucky your fender tap may have only been $4k. Total is indeed supposed to be total loss, but I think the insurance companies will try to total at 50% of value as they think the repair will always be higher than the estimate. That's been my experience anyway.

from the pics i can see this : 2x airbags, front bumper with right headlight and hood, rear bumper and rear stoplight but the ugly part seems to be the rear right wheel and i don't think at "the wheel"...

You don't know what damage there is under the front bumper. The tub looks ok from the photo, but hard to tell for sure. The hood looks sprung, could be some frame twisting.

We can all guess what the repair would cost by looking at it cosmetically. But we will never know how extensive the damage is until the pieces are taken off and car put on a frame machine. Then you can start accessing the damages (chassis).
14k Body parts only? x 2??
Chassis ?
Labor ??

total cost = what you're willing to pay for a wrecked car repaired. Rare or not.

Good Luck!

wheel damage may mean suspension arm damage as well...

The car price is 54.900k euro but i am 100% sure that they will go down on the price!

I am also thinking about the right wheel and maybe front right radiator.

But the car is a 2005 gt2 with 4000km, this is god and how Robertp said, this is one of seven gt2!!!
