I still have the broken parts, only thing is, you got off luckier than I did. My lip is hanging kinda, under tray is ****ed, and so is one of my bbs wheels. Luckily, I'm gonna replace that crap and I have a set of stock IX wheels. Best of luck yo ya on the repairs! its a doozey!

I was lucky becuase it was only the wheel that hit, the suspension links absorbed the impact. Have a look at the pics... the cast hub/knuckle sheared off. I can imagine the upper and lower links absorbed some force too. I guess I won't be able to tell until I take them all the car... that way I can measure them on a flat surface and play spot the difference with my new parts. Should be fun. Not

I think we should all sign a petition stating that we would like all concrete curbs to be replaced with soft rubber ones!

To be honest I was practicing sliding the car on ice. Controlled slides, scandanavian flicks and such. This wasn't on a public road.
I wasn't going that fast at all but I lost grip in a controlled slide.... which turned into a slow, uncontrolled slide towards the curb.
It was my own fault really and I knew the risks involved. Unfortunately practicing driving techniques can be pricey. Lesson learnt, it's all a learning curve I guess.

For you attitude though.Good luck with the repairs.
