After finally looking at the car in the daylight, its quite apparent that something got bent (so much for that 5.5hour, $470 alignment...).
My pass. front tire just about rubs the back edge of the wheel well. I'm really hoping that replacing either the subframe, or the lower a-arm will fix this situation, because otherwise, insurance is probably gonna want to total the car.
I'm also considering doing as much as the work as I can myself, hopefully this way I can get things changed around a bit in my favor. Like for instance, my pass side intercooler was totally obliterated by the guardrail, and rather than replace it, I might as well push for a front mount. Shredded the fender too, a pair of Osir V1's might look good, with just a little modification.
Anyone know what options there are for complete front bumpers, excluding the kits for the 'new look' fishmouth design?

I'll get some pics up in a few. I took some with my cell phone, I just gotta find my bluetooth thing to upload them to the computer.






This last one... what you're looking at is a couple humps in my floorboard, where the guard rail was hammering at the bottom of the car, pushing it up.

If this car is totalled, I'm done. I refuse to buy another car for more than $1000. Im disgusted with myself to the point where I don't feel like I even deserve to drive this car.

 

Allow me to change your mind?

I do agree they look good but that thread made me think twice about $600 fenders. Maybe not everyone has that hard a time?

 

i just got a subframe on e-bay. they pop up once in a while. i had a little dent in mine so i replaced it. The A arm would most likely crack. since it is cast but you never know. here is the lik to the ebay store. he is an Audi dismatler in Canada.

Thanks for the heads up on the fenders, and thanks for the ebay link, i'll keep an eye on that. I was thinking the same thing about the subframe vs. the a-arm, which is why I figured I'd start my work there.
