Yup, been there, done that, in the first week of ownership on a curb with yellow paint. Agony. My excuse was that I wasn't used to the hatchback thing backing into parking space (What the ***! What is the wheel doing there so far back?). I lost a small (but annoying) piece of the rim guard as well. I can fix the rim because the damage is really minor, but I will have to live with the divot out of the tire (and I WILL notice it each and every time I wash the car).
