The plastic guard that's connected to the front bumper and plastic oil guard?
Not vital at all
It's very inexpensive and easy to replace

I believe its the little edge part thats like 41 bucks. its either that or the very edge of the vented part in the middle, but with the car being lowered i cant see it clearly without getting the car up

Looks like you also broke a piece of your oil cooler guard
Not sure they will cover that under warranty
Highly doubt it if you're expecting it
Best would be to just order the parts and replace it yourself
It's very easy and inexpensive
Good luck

They should be be able to pay for it
It's a good time to invest now in a metal oil cooler guard or if you want to keep the plastic one I still have mine
Not sure where you're located at

Wooow
Bad business
Either way at least it isn't a lot of money
Good thing they didn't damage the oil cooler now that's a pain with possible engine damage if you start it up

I wouldn't bother replacing them. They are to low to the ground and will only hit some other road debris or you will ride over a curb and bust them again. Mine busted years ago and have left them that way.

Not a critical part for the airguide in front of the wheel . We replace them daily I would shave the lip of the new one it helps . The oil cooler one i would replace , it actually guides air to the cooler to help cooling . If its missing a chunk like that the air will escape and not hit the cooler as designed . You could di it your self with a 8mm socket and a 1/4 ratchet

I believe that pieces is pretty critical to areo. You’d be surprise how much downforce the bottom of our cars actually make.
