I hit a flipp'n piece of truck tire today, and it broke my grill, scratched my hood/ fender, cracked my front plate holder, and wiped out one of this covers for the headlight washer (driver side). Does anyone know what the part number(s) are for those items? If I got a Chilton manual...how hard would it be to repair these things myself or should I just take it to a dealer? Thanks in advance for any insight/opinions/suggestions.

you definitely don't have to take it to the dealer for those issues...now would be an excellent time to upgrade to a front euro plate ...the headlight washer cap you can get at any dealership for ~10-15 bucks...the grill you can also upgrade or just get a stock one...they're usually all over ebay for 20-30 bucks...aftermarket grills go for 20-120, they're usually on ebay too...the scratches might be able to buff out but i have no idea how bad they are

 

Thanks Bent. It's a little easier to swallow knowing I could fix this for under $100 (without repainting). I think I will take this opportunity to "upgrade", as you have suggested!

Thanks!

glad i could help...if it was just rubber that scratched your car you can probably buff it out..if it was part of the steel belts inside the tire that hit, you may be able to buff it out, or you might need to have it painted......there are all kinds of grill options..there are mesh grills, badgeless grills, you can also buy a stock grill or an rs4 grill and paint it black, if you really want to get into it ...mine is the stock grill with the chrome parts painted black

 

or you could just send it in to insurance, they will usually cover stuff like that and get everything fixed with new stuff
