Default Wrecked C4?

Looking at it again, you're correct. The bumper & lower chin spoiler were painted the color of the body... they need to be painted again.

To know for sure, we need more info about the crash. Was it driven off of a cliff?
If so, yep Obama was in the driver's seat.

I would hate to have a plate that read "C44OBAMA"!

I guess if it did it would qualify for "cash for Junkers" in other words, not worth anything!
