Default Someone hit my car this weekend! Now I have to replace the wheel arch, any tips?

The grey plastic wheel arch thing got all bent up thanks to someone that doesn't know how to back out of a spot. Somehow I totally knew that something would happen. Luckily they didnt dent the back quarter panel, althought they did scrape it some.

Is this something that I can easily replace? Where should I get a new one from?

thanks for any advice.

Sorry to hear.

Default BTDT...its about 90 minutes, $140.00 from the dealer

And the deaerl orders it in eith black or gray so there is no paining needed. One of my repair links is below.. its pretty easy.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/123176.phtml">click..</a></li></ul>

Default Sorry, I don't, but your dealer will know..

It needs to be ordered with your VIN to insure the correct color. It took two days to get in fromt the AoA warehouse.

For what it is, $140 seams pretty reasonable. Heck, less than 3 tanks of gas.

Default There are a few different shades of Grey

Look for your paint code sticker in the spare tire well. there should be codes for the paint color and one for your bumper/wheel arch trim. Dealer should take it from there.
