Hitting the side of my car and also damaging my tyre.Not happy at all..is an understatement my hands were shaking when it happened.. :( I cant believe she hit the side of my car. The front drivers side guard is bent and scratched, and also the tyre has this big cut in it. Just got off the phone to Ford Insure and they are looking after the whole thing. I cannot thank them enough for how helpful they were.Looks like my car will be off the road for a little while.. Pics of the car are attached..

Im not too sure if i should change the wheel to the spare? Ford Insure said just to drive slowly and carefully. Its like the rubber has split. It looks like i also need a wheel alignment.. and not sure if the rim is damaged or anything else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest atessa Guests Posted 12/02/03 08:11 AM Share Posted 12/02/03 08:11 AM Man - that really does suck!Hopefully your car will be restored to new - as you bought it. And most importantly won't take long to fix.I guess things like this can happen to anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't hurt to change that tyre, the last thing you want is a blowout even if you are driving slow. Hope your back on the road soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tyre obviosly needs replacing and since its on the front l would certainly change it out with the spare.Hope youre not off the road for too long.
