Just not my day....

So today my beauty got hit and damaged by a tow truck!
Damaged the whole side fender (rear), side skirt , bent rim and the bottom is bent in also

Is it fixable ????
What do you think?

I think it's fixable. I'm sure they will put all new oem stuff to replace it.

I'd make sure they replace the tire aswell, maybe flatten it before the adjuster looks at it, wheel is ruined so might as well.

That's called insurance fraud.

Ahhh yes, the lug nuts left teeth marks all down the side of your car.

The car is certainly fixable.

Ouch that looks pretty bad. At least it's cosmetic and no structural so it will be easily repaired. You could ask about a new tire with the wheel damage all they can say is no.

That's called if it were mine I wouldn't want that tire. Every time you drive it you'll have that in the back of your mind, is it gonna blow and **** up everything that was just repaired? Than don't touch the tire and demand it be replaced. No fraud in that!!
