Default Oh NO!!!! I am so mad! front damage!

I still can't beleive it.. My wife backed her car (SImply tapped it as per her version) into the M3 last night and didn't think much apparently since she didn't tell me until I called her on it this morning. I go to drop the kids to school and I hit a minor bump then I hear something drop on the road. Stop the car and see the kidney grill laying in the middle of the road so I think, well it popped no biggie right? I go to put it back and oh **** I see the horrific damage! I pick up the cell and call home...then the rest of the conversation you can all imagine I am sure.....


I think the damage is simply on the metal piece that hold the kindneys but Damned I am pissed. .. Where should I order that piece? Any recommendations? (Excuse the poor shots, they are from my phone camera)

easy to replace takes about 15 minutes and costs about $35 plus new grills. Only bad part is you will have to have it painted. Should be about $100 from a decent shop.

Not too bad, looks like mine used to. I took it apart when I painted my grills and just reshaped it, not too difficult.


HinzM3, what kind of wheels are those? ASA AR2?

Wow. I think I would be more mad that the misses didnt tell me about it then anything. Maybe you'll be able to work her to get some kind of compensation....
