Cosmetic yes but cosmetics are important to me and this build. That’s like someone keyeing your car and me saying well at least it’s cosmetic. Problem is to properly address all of the cosmetic damage I’m well into or over $20,000 especially if I include a new case.

Cosmetic damages which I assume can be repaired do not render the engine or the car for that matter worthless ! Besides, aren't these Carrera cases relatively rare ? This looks to me like a partial refund situation you need to work out with the seller who except for the boneheaded mistake of not having insurance doesn't seem to be "at fault" here. Anything more might be possible but you have a steeper wall to climb.

It's STILL a VERY nice looking engine. I'll be very happy to have that, scratches and all, in my car.

Sucks, yeah but good luck with this !
