Default Minor Accident. Need Help!

Hey AF, I seemed to have had a minor accident. It was rainy and my car skidded off the road going about 35 MPH on a turn and drove on to a rocky/muddy shoulder. My front (Black) lower (the one you can paint) was damaged so I had to remove it. Does anyone know where I can get one of those besides the dealer? Oh and another thing. The car is drivable, but when on the freeway doing about 50-70 my car now seems to drift off to the right as a result of my little accident (wheels misaligned). Is there a possiblity that I can fix this myself, or is it a dealer/car shop type job? Thanks AF guys.

just to clear things up you didn't seem to have had one, you did lol. nope, alignment is basically a shop thing and you rly won't find a lower anywhere else but you could possibly get lucky at a junkyard. there is a writeup on audiworld for a home done alignment but i don't think it's very feasible lol. you can go read it and make up your mind though.

alright, thanks, do you know where I can get the black lower molding on the front bumper piece that came off? I'd take a picture of what I'm talking about but I think everyone knows what I already am talking about.

check the classified section of this forum. people part out cars and have moldings and parts like that all the time.
