Ouch
Was driving home two nights ago and all of a sudden out of the bottom of the car in front of me pops out a car tire he obviously ran over. It hits the front of my car and goes under the car.
I get home and find the bottom grille (the one in the middle which has two side grilles for the fog lights) bent and one of the tabs which holes it on, broken.
When I inspected it today to replace the broken tab, I noticed the entire bottom piece was cracked severely in several places (the actual bottom of the bumper).
I will call for insurance to take care of it, but any idea of how much this will run me? And is it worth it or possible to try to get the newest bumper installed (2007 model year), or the Brabus bumper instead? Just wondering what my options and prices are here. it's going in anyway.
