Years ago, my son borrowed my wife's MB and scrapped the bumper on a column in a parking garage as well as the lower bumper on a sidewalk(on the same trip). Needless to say he never drove it again. Now in his 30's he still doesn't drive. He sucked at it but he found out he needed glasses.

Looks like the tire is bulging in the top right of your first picture. Must have hit the kerb fairly hard on the first parking attempt and then scraped the alloy on the second attempt ?

Pay it, it's matter of time before it bursts. Spoken from personal experience unfortunately. Have you checked the inside of your rim ? Any vibration as you drive, besides scuff, you might have bent rim as well?

No arguments from me on that one

The reason I asked about inside of your rim. After hitting big pothole last week, my rim had minor scuff on the outside, much smaller than what you're showing. Noticed vibration on the steering wheel immediately after. When I took it in for wheel repair, I checked the inside of the rim, and yikes, quite a nice bend - all repaired now and back on the car.

Wow...Sorry to hear but good thing it was repairable! I'm not sure if anyone can fix the rim damage or might even consider powder coating them?
