Had this come in yesterday. Was only collected on the 8th April from Audi
Stripped it down this morning
Parts required to fix:
Bonnet
Bumper
O/s wing
Headlamp
Headlamp bracket
Front panel
Front cross member
Intercooler
Wheel arch liner
Under trays
Fog lamp
And then a door repair on the N/S/F door. Paint the N/S rear quarter and door. And paint the O/S front door.
Oops

That'll be expensive then - doesn't actuallly look too bad in the first picture.
Amount of dirt on those new alloys too! Obviously hasn't been looked after at all.

Yep. A lot of hidden damage
As for the dirt, the whole car is covered in some sort of gunky slime. Not a clue what it is, but dirt sticks to it. May explain the wheels too.

I'll look for price tomorrow.
It's a lease car.
Indeed Phil, no need to worry about any seized bolts

Being honest if you were having to pay for the repairs yourself what could have been deemed as satisfactory to carry on using?

I dunno, I once got abuse from a teenage guy driving one of these.
I say guy in the loosest term. Boys these days look like lesbians.

well if its new wing bonnet and bumper they get painted off the car while its in bits
might be some on the blend panels (if the insurers paid for those) to the doors and wings
if the door mouldings etc were removed and masked properly, shouldnt see why there would be any
