Sad day for me and the blackwing

So this happened yesterday. Victim of road debris on the highway. Anyone have an idea of how much a repair might cost?

Ouch...that sucks. Looks like it hit the radiator too?

Shoot, that's a bummer. I accidentally ordered a front grille for by '22 5BW by mistake back in October. Was just around $700-$800 for the part.

Perfect time to switch out for the CF grill header as well.

Sorry to hear it. Hope repairs go well.......

Total bullshit! Sorry, Bro...

Yeah I haven’t even looked closely at that yet. Been too busy and thinking about it makes my heart hurt.

Can you share a link? Upgrading might make all this more bearable

Actually, that small strip of CF on the top of the grill is a separate piece. I learned the hard way, that's why ended up with a new grill (with NO carbon fiber) --- the part #s were confusing and listed wrong. Thanksfully, dealer exchanged no problem. The small little strip was about $700 and a huge P.i.A. to install 9for the guys doing it, not me!)

Trying to upload more pics but being fussy.....I'll try again soon.

Ok, here's some pics. Pics of grille part as ordered (notice NO CF! No lip at all actually. Someone else on here made same mistake- his grille came & thought it came incomplete but this actually what you get if you order grill). Then pics of CF grille header that came after (double check, PN might have changed). Finally, pics of the works in progress. Like I said, they had to take off the whole front bumper (but got to see some cool stuff in doing so).
