Annoying, went to pick up a screw for my glovebox at the audi parts department... Pulled out of some lights into a one lane road that splits into two after 10 meters or so... Went to pull over to the left before it split into two and a woman drove up the left side of me as I did that. I suppose it was my fault I was in front of her and should have checked before moving over, though she could have backed off a bit, people cut you up loads on roundabouts and you just have to let off or crash into the side of them. Anyway, lesson learned, thank god it wasn't worse. I'm sure it'll turn out to be the most expensive screw I've ever bought.
The bottom of the passenger door is ruined... I'm thinking to maybe try and get a whole new door off of eBay. There seem to be quite a few in the same colour available, hard to tell what their condition is like though.
The bottom of the O/S rear quarter panel is wrecked... Lots of dents along the bottom, seemingly where the metal is pretty thick too, plus one crease on the front of the arch. FYI the upward scratches in the picture below were always there. Had a look for rear quarter panels on the net and they're pretty expensive, then put a respray and fitting on top of that, I think it'll be really dear. Also they're huge, so god knows how I'd collect one or have it shipped... Beyond doing that, does anyone think these dents could be pulled out/ banged out?
Also, scuffs that miiiight? polish out along the side of the rear quarter panel and door. Plus a weird, fairly faint tyre scuff on the front of one of the rear alloy spokes, that I couldn't seem to clean off. Am about to phone my insurance up to make the claim but wanted to see what people think on here as well... Thanks
