Hi there.

Long time reader, first time poster and all that:

I was in a bit of a bump at a supermarket carpark today.

I was on the 'road' between the spaces, the other car was in a space.
I reversed back to let another car get round a corner and the car I hit chose this moment to pull out behind me.

The end result - a nice big dent in the other cars wing (an audi A6 I think) and some mindor damage to fixings on my bumper (I'll probably live with these).

Anyway, we've agreed to sort it out between ourselves and He's gone off to get a quote. I'm not going to bother getting mine fixed, I should be able to snap it back into place.

The question is, how much do you reckon is a reasonable quote for a new wing and spray? He seemed to think the dent is repairable, though I'm not so sure.

Many thanks
Tomlad

Front wing under £100 from a motor factor. Matching a fancy metallic paint will be pricey. Figure another at least £150

treble that and you will be nearer the mark the paint alone costs a fortune and the labour will be at least 4 hours .

Thanks for your answers guys.

It's a shame they're completely different lol.

I was expecting around the £300 mark, if it goes to an indy bodyshop.

3 times that is what I'd expect if he takes it to Audi to get it done.

Perhaps I'll get lucky and it can be repaired? As I remember it was a football - sized rounded dent with abrasion to the paint work (not sure if through to the primer or not). There was also damage to one single fixing where the wing meets the wheel arch liner.
