Replaced all the damaged parts (bottom wishbone, rear mount, stabiliser link, xenon leveling lever, put driveshaft back, new front tyres and alignment) and it soldiers on like it didn't happen for over 50.000km now. Alloy escaped miraculously.
I used to spend a lot of time in Belgium... the potholes are mad- the bit of motorway just on the border near Lamain/ Marquain was down to the steel reinforced concrete layer in places...

My friends Mother posted something on FB to warn me!
