Unfortunately it cannot get back it’s naturally shape so I have to replace it… the insurance will pay for everything, at least is a good news

Ahhh what a beautiful gift

I’ve disassembled mine because of the scratches 🤣

You have to remove first the 2 buttons from the back and than u can disassemble it. Be careful because are fragile but with a plastic tool is easier (push the 2 lips at the side of the button)

For the scratches I’ve used a polish for acrylic (made ...

I cannot wait to get the engine at home
