    The bumper brackets, reinforcement, lower grill, left DRL housing & maybe the radiator core support too.

    I know how you feel- I recently did without my PIP for a week due to bad weather here- it was killing me to use my old CRV at 20mpg!
    Cost me almost $50 just to go to work for that week (the PIP costs about $12.75/week).
    Now I don't really complain when I only get 80mpg in the PIP due to below freezing temps.

    They could have done a better job. But there's nothing that I can do about it now. The paint match and the car functions like new and if I don't mention the accident nobody would notice it but I can see the imperfections.

    Anyway, I'm a happy camper again. ;-)

    The quick answer is I don't know. It seems to me that they replaced the bumper, the headlight, the LDR, parts that hold the radiator in place, the door had to be repainted and fix an small dent, the same with the hood, both panels between the bumper and the front doors had to be repainted to match the bumper and hood fresh color, both front emblems had to be replaced.

    Funny you should put it that way.
    In UK English they are called mudguards and the bumpers are called fenders.

    Very confusing to many, I'm sure.

    Nope. Just a know-it-all :)

    No apology needed.

    Well... I was noisy, bumpy, small, no leather seats, I couldn't get on it more than 35 mpg in the city... I was missing the ECO mode.
