[ABZ S5]

What a week! First find a nail in my front offside tyre last Sunday; repaired Monday no problem.

Then today some scrote decides to put 2 scratches down my passenger side on both front and rear arches

Now just been outside to car on driveway and my bloody winscreen has developed a 14" crack right across the drivers side from the pillar

I'm going to kill something!!!! God am I mad!!!!

 

[dbs2]

OMG !!!

Sorry to hear that .... how much bad news can you get !!!!!

 

[lewy2x2m]

.... hope you have a low insurance deductable.. repainting the entire car could be costly

rear bumper repaired!

Hi Abz
Sorry to hear that mate, Iv'e just had a guy out to repair the rear bumper due to a muppet backing into me in Asda car park and deciding to do a runner. Could have been worse as it was the size of a fifty pence piece but he or she took the paint off and there is a slight dent.

One consolation, the guy who came out told me that black is one of the best colours for repair jobs. He charged me £30.00 and did a good job. It's still sickening even though its hardly noticable now, because you know it's there.

Sorry to hear keep your chin up,i know exactly how you are feeling as i was hit by a 40+ ton foreign lorry last month with over £5000 worth of damage to my S5,of course paid for by my insurance company but has still cost me £650 excess which i will get back once they locate the foreign lorry's english agent

Not good i know but i wish that was all that had happend to me that day on June 7th,i nearly lost my life.

Good luck with repairs,i am sure it will be as good as new once sorted

I got my S5 back two weeks ago,repaired by Audi Bodyshop and now looks better than ever

That's heavy.

Try chipsaway they sorted my drivers side wing for a dent and rear bumper for a scratch (all car park damage...hate careless peoplpe) all for £225, normal body shops were quoting £500+

I would try Audi Bodyshop i had a small dint repaired not long ago before the major accident and they were very resonable and the job was first class

Got my S5 back two weeks ago then was a trip to APS last monday to get some upgrades done and now we are all one again

Dopey woman went in to the back of me in stationary traffic yesterday in SW London. Would have been OK, but she had a protruding screw in her numberplate which has punctured a hole in my bumper. Couple of small scratches too, but nothing major.

Anyone know if this can be repaired or is it a new bumper? Dunno whether to go through insurance or not... She has admitted guilt, given me her details etc. Its a brilliant balck A5.
