A4 Bumper Damage - Mega Repair Bill?

[Paolo86]

Hey folks, so the car went into Neutral instead of Drive tonight and rolled me into a wall (obviously all the car's fault and not mine )! My lovely 18 plate A4 Avant now has a few scars to show for it; a few deep pits and a crack in the bumper from what I can see.

Any idea what it might cost to repair? Thinking around £350-£400 from a couple jobs I've had done previously (not the same wall!), but would be great to get some opinions.

Up in Scotland if that helps...

Cheers,

Paul

I think you’re in the right ballpark based on previous work I’ve had done.

Pretty standard repair. If you go through your insurance - I think they'll just opt for a new bumper. It's crazy, but it's all down to labour. I'd want them to remove the bumper, push that crack out and fill. They may use a wire mesh patch and plastic weld, then conventional filler and repaint. I think this may be more than you think, I'd say £500-600.
