Andrew,

SO SORRY to hear that. I had a pickup back into the '89 S4 5 speed that I bought for a track car. About the same amount of damage as yours, but it caught the tail light too. Bumper did pop back, and I didn't repair it, as this is not a "show" track car!!!!

That's their European only shop. They have worked on both ends of my A6 4.2. It was usually the cheapest car in the shop.
Andrew I agree here Autometic is the place you should take it the owners name is Larry Smith, they do it right or not at all.

Sad Regards

looks like the bumper shock didn't work. Or maybe it did and the truck went through that travel.

How is your neck Andrew? I know the car is your baby, but you have to make sure that you are OK. Give it a few days and take it easy.

I am really sorry to hear about your bad luck.
