I broke my lower grill, bumper cover had to come off to replace, PITA. Cracked a fog light, benz wants like $200 for a replacement, still can't figure out why they are glass. Someone looks to have cleaned snow off my trunk with a metal rake so that needs repainting as well. I hate f'ing winter.

And my summers went on yesterday as well.

Yikes, thankfully I made it through winter relatively unscathed. However, the spring mod bug is now biting

That is precisely why I bought a winter beater. I knew I'd be plowing the streets like you this winter.

Someone traded me a little paint on the rear fender. I'll be doing a full detail to hopefully remedy the ice scraper marks.

Zero damage sustained this winter for me! Car is nestled in the garage with storage only insurance on it. you really should look into buying a cheap ass winter beater dude. its probably the best decision i've ever made. Especially being lowered like my car is and i know alot of your cars are as well. there's really no way to drive them in NE winters without sustaining damage. Literally two weeks after my coilover install i knew the car was never gonna be able to be driven in snow again. went out and bought a cheap used truck on craigslist. hell, it even came with brand new blizzaks! it was an absolute MONSTER in the snow.

Scraped the underside of my bumper, but that'll be covered up by an aero lip soon, I hope. No curb rash on the winter wheels. One rather bothersome scratch on the side of the car that shouldn't be there and I have no idea how it got there. Probably a shopping cart or some other idiocy.

Looking forward to putting my summers back on.

pulled the bottom of my bumper hard enough on an ice ledge backing out of my driveway that it tore the bumper...not cracked...tore and plowing through snow with my XI proves to knock out fog lights and break brackets holding them

Washed my car today for the first time in months, and noticed 2 scratches on my passenger-side rocker panel. Must have been from people getting in/out. Nothing a little touch up paint and TLC can't fix, fortunately.
