1st of Congrat's on your new purschase
2nd 2008 doesn't come in PDK, it's called tipronic. PDK's turbo production started 2010+.
3rd look into, techart. speedart, vorsteiner (depending on your budget) .. etc
4th definately swap your IC's and exhaust with after market one's since they r already bust.

Best of luck,

I am going to make an assumption that you haven't driven the car and maybe haven't even started the engine.

Depending on the severity of the rear-end hit, I would have the engine and chassis looked at by someone VERY knowledgeable and reputable.

And then again maybe you did your due diligence and it's just bodywork and a few external pieces that need replacing. In either case, good luck and best wishes.

o ya i took the whole car apart for a estimate that i did on the car for the insurance company which later wrote it off. The engine starts fine i just pulled it out yesterday for the body color change its gonna go orange and the quater,door and fender i am gonna replica the gemballa 997. AS far as aero kits go i love the techart stuff but way to pricey for me rather throw those fund in the engine is there knock off stuff i can buy? i can do all the fitting myself at the shop. thx spunky for those vendors!!
