Ran over a piece of metal on the highway

WVU335I · 10-30-2010, 11:28 PM

So I was driving down to the mall and as i started to switch lanes to pass a truck i hear a loud bang... i pulled off the highway only to see a scrape on the side of my car, flat tire, and a chip of paint off my wheels... the question i have for you guys is where can i get a replacement rear bumper (m-sport) and replacement 2011 msport wheel? i tried a search could only find 2010 wheels not the spoked 2011 one... ive had my car for 3 weeks hoping to minimize the damage on my wallet.

ouch that sucks man, you have wheel and tire insurance?

You want to replace the wheel because of a paint chip?

WVU335I · 10-31-2010, 09:14 PM

My insurance is replacing the wheel because of the chip also the shop is ordering a new bumper cover. also they are taking the price of the tire off my deductable so i only have to pay the difference to 500 which in this case is like 103 bucks... because of how deep the scrapes are in the side of my rear bumper cover and all insurance will make my car like new. I do not have the tire protection since i dont really drive the car much... wish i did have it now tho.

yea especially here in jersey after a long winter, with all the potholes on the roads after salt/snow, its a good idea to have it for your Msport 18's

OK, that makes sense. Down here in Florida we don't have that much of a pothole problem that busts your wheels and tires. What we have to watch out for are the sink holes that eat the whole damn car!

Sorry to hear.. Tri state roads are horrible.. I hit a nice NYC pothole on Bowery & the passenger rear wheel is damaged & the right rear brake light malfuntion message popped up on the nav screen

I made an appointment @ the dealer & will put my wheel/tire insurance to use.
