Thanks everyone for all the replies and kind words plus help. I had to put it to the back of my mind since everywhere was closed over the festive period and I didn't want it to ruin the season.. The tyres were Goodyear Eagle F1's Asymmetrical 6. Unfortunately never scrubbed in. Now I'm on the hunt to fix the car and put the actual incident behind me, I'd really appreciate some help again please. What's the difference between a 2015 f-sport and standard rear suspension? Is it just the shocks and springs or is there any other differences, as I'm looking to buy a back end from a breakers. Cheers and thanks again.

Good morning fellow F-Sporter. Thanks so much for the reply and concern. I'm ok thanks, just my now and my wallet at this time of year. Much appreciated you taking the time to reply also during this time 😉 Driving in the rain, 4 brand new premium tyres, round a bend at normal speed and the car slide completely sideways, losing all traction. No lights or airbags deployed but it took some belt off the kerb. I was expecting a puncture as I came to a stop, but shocked to see the damage caused, unfortunately. Ah ok, it's the full subframe, I was hoping it was a part that was attached to the subframe. Would you have any idea of the part number please so I can try see what a used would be? I was hoping it would be a part that is shared with a popular Toyota, but doesn't seem to be the case? That's a comprehensive list thanks and fair play for totting it up and giving a rough estimate. Like you said, the fear is the work done, out of my own pocket, and I still end up with a car I love that's not quite right. I've never had a claim before but again listening to your advice, it may be the road I have to go down. My fear with this is that the insurance might consider the car a write off? I'd be devastated to loose her. If it's an insurance job and down to the highest standard, I presume with genuine new parts, would you have any idea what that may come too at an authorised repair centre, please? Any help would be really appreciated as I feel like I've ruined Christmas for the family with this financial and logistical nightmare! I expect a big price if new subframe and the rest, so hence my questions and apprehensive that she may just be wrote off. What category damage would you reckon it would be classed at? I know it's very hard to say without the full picture and a lift but a ballpark would be great. Zero damage to bodywork, car only fully serviced as always with Lexus a couple of months ago, which makes it all the more sickening. Thanks again and whenever you get the chance to get back to me would be great as I'm sure you're flat out today of all days! Hope you and yours are safe and Merry Christmas!

Apologies for the bad pictures and lack of details. I've circled "badly" the part that the bolt through has damaged on the left rear. I know it's lacking in detail, I'll update more tomorrow. Just tired of googling after a long day after this happened and need some sleep now. Fingers crossed I wake up to some helpful people here 😉

Hi all, Looking for some help please, identifying the damaged part and a rough cost of repair or replacement? Also how big a job is it? Wheel is currently tilted sideways after an impact so in desperate need of some knowledge and help! Thanks
