Upload a picture if you can. How much of an angle?

Camber differences, It'll need the subframe moving to align it.

Looking at the photos I think you might have the 'bent' one on the wrong side. My RS3 is completely stock/original and has camber like your 'bent' wheel. The other looks far too vertical for an RS3. The panel mis-fit on that side makes me suspicious too.

Only way to tell is a proper alignment to find which side is wrong.

Did you do all the checks for damage and write-offs

Camber can't be adjusted independently on these. The position of the subframe has an impact on it. So if it's shifted over to one side you'll see one tyre look like it's standing straighter as you have in the pictures. My S1 in the same though not as pronounced. When it was lowered there's a difference between driver and passenger side so it looks like Audi didn't get the subframe positioned correctly when the car was built. the guys who did my tracking couldn't get the front camber/caster sorted (rear is all adjustable on the S1 so that's all good).

As to is it a big job, not really. Audi can do it and the tracking but they'll want over £200. Any specialist should be able to do it if they're familiar with the car.

Thanks mate. Yeah Tht front bumper just needs tighten in the inside,goes in for tracking nextweek so hopefully they’ll be able to tell if the subframe is bent etc

Unless the car's been in an accident it's unlikely to have a bent subframe it may have shifted or not been set right to start with. The mount points have elongated holes to allow for adjustment so they can move. There are centralising inserts available for the MQB platform the will centre the frame and keep it centred but as to whether that is good for you would depend on the rest of the car being straight.
