somehow i managed to scratch my new car
this is the front right side of the car.
i will attach some pictures. how much will it cost to get this fix? is the tire even repairable or do i need a new tire? is it safe to continue to drive it with the tire like this? it seems like its pretty deep.
this is the second time this happens to me. i also did it to my right rear wheel but it was a small little scratch on the rim which i sanded down with a dremel. the back tire also has a small cut on the tire where a little chunk of tire is hanging, i was thinking about cutting it but i rather glue it. what could i use to glue the back one?
to be honest im more concern about todays incident.

What concerns me is that you say the "somehow" you managed to scratch the wheel tire, etc. I hope you are being facetious...otherwise you might want to work on your driving a bit as it should have felt like you were running over a mountain...
Anyhow, it looks like that tire has to be replaced. As far as your other post showing the damage from last week; it looks like you cut the tire protection bead but the tire looks to be structural sound. You might want to trim it off or use a rubber glue to hold it down.

I am certified for high speed pursuits. I am a good driver. I was 10 minutes late for church as i was parking. i was trying to get real tight to the curb but i got too close. I just really hope it does not cost too much money.

Trust me, I dont think this is funny at all. Thanks for the advice. I will have to buy a new tire soon. but it is ok to just replace the one tire? my car has close to 9000 miles on it.

it is going to need a new tire.That is damaged to the exposed core threads.
Then ask or look for a wheel re-finisher to fix the rims and a detailer to buff and touch up the bumper.

My employment. That's all you need to know. Not to be an ***.

Ohlord thanks. I sent the mercedes benz an e-mail with the pictues to ask for an estimate. But Im sure they are gonna try and overcharge me. I noticed the right side of the bumper as a bigger gap between the fender and the bumper. Im talking about a 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

I would just take your car to a highly rated body shop and have them fix it back to new condition. It might cost a bit but that in intself will remind you to be extra careful next time.

Probably around $300 -500 to repair bumper and you will be fine with a new tire at that mileage.
