Tyres rubbing on wheel arch

[Andy_M]

Hi

I noticed a scraping noise whilst driving home the other day.

When I stopped to have a look I saw that there was a hole in my drivers side wheel arch and a bit of plastic hanging down from in-between the wheel arch and the bumper.

I fastened the plastic as best I as I could so I could make my way home for a better look.

It looks like my tyre may have been catching on full lock and broken the plastic cover between the wheel arch and the bumper

the passenger side (how i guess its supposed to look)

So anyone got any ideas as to how much it will cost, and is a job that could easily be done?

Cheers

This happened to me, and the dealer replaced the arch liners under warranty (nice of them as Id done it by whacking a cone on a trackday). I gather its quite a common thing though - so it may have been caused by a stone or something breaking the liner.
