Default its a long shot....

Its a long shot cos you obiviously can't see my car but someone on here might have a clue as to what it could be. The other night i skided on some black ice, sliding across the road into the crub! its taken a big chunk out of my wheel and pushed the wheel back so that its touching the arch.
Has anyone got any idea what could of bent or what is most likly to have bent. its been raining constantly since it happened so i haven't had a good look.
I was hoping it would just be the track control arm cos there cheap to replace, but could it of bent the chasis?

cheers

Danny

Just been out now to have another look and the track control arm is deffenatly bent, but it also looks like the wing has moved out cos the gap between the wing and bonnet looks slightly bigger. don't know if its just me.
how expensive is gigging if it needs it, it only looks about 1mm out, but i can't see the chasis moving really cos it was only a 10mph smack
