Apples with apples though (both are modified and have "originality" issues) the HQ wins hands down for me assuming they have both been "repaired" and painted to the same standard. At least the HQ still has its tarp clips.

Fascia aint an issue, I have two new ones in the shed. Trim is just trim, $750 and its fixed. Indicator lenses are easy. Grille, headlight surrounds and wheels are just a bit of paint, but still a fair whack of time to do it all properly and will not be cheap to do everything. Given it does have other things harder to do right like the firewall, engine bay is too glossy etc I reckon do a deal at $25k and just fix the few easy things, leave the rest alone. The trim and putting the ride height back to original are the only major expenses i'd go to, and maybe fit integrated air into it.
