Mainly, the absolutely atrocious quality of the roads. Seriously, the pothole I fell was so deep and filled with debris it hit the lower body and bent it. If someone knows what I can do to mend this it would be really appreciated. Explanation for this can only be that last night there was heavy rain which would cause the potholes due to the horrid asphalt they used for the road.

It just sucks how I take care of this car as my most important possession, for 3 years keep it absolutely impecable and this happens.

Same thing here in Brazil, shit asphalt, tropical weather and a lack of care from those responsible.

Insurance will probably be the best way to deal with this.

Sorry mate, shit like this sucks! From the one single pic this looks like a situation where you either ignore it and live with it, or fork over the cash to have professionals do it right. I don’t see a cheap DIY fix, especially on a new-ish car like yours.

I am thinking the same. Will decide what to do when I get the estimate.

No suspension damage? Is the wheel bent or cracked?

No, which surprised the hell out of me after hearing that bang.
