rovershack

I am having a very bad day. My other vehicle is a lifted Land Rover Discovery riding on 35" tires (pretty much dedicated off-road vehicle). Well, while working on my friends brakes, I had parked the S4 behind the rover on the street. We had to run to the shop to get some parts so not thinking I jumped in the rover (very poor rear vis mind you) and backed into my S4 ( I usually never park anything behind my truck). OUCH to say the least. Well after drying my tears and beating my self with a dead horse for being such an idiot, I assesed the damage (picture may be forthcoming). Broken right headlight lense, damaged hood, and damaged grill. Call my insurance company (first claim on my own insurance in 18 years) and plan on getting a couple estimates next week. That's my sob story, so on to my questions.

1. I know I can replace the headlight lamp lense. The bodyshop will count the headlight as unrepairable and require replacement of the entire unit, (what is cost on that usually). I might take the cash and upgrade to Euro lights if it's at least half of that cost. Blau sells a kit ($700ish), any experience?

2. Hood. Will a C4 Audi 100 hood fit on the C4 S4. I know the fenders are different, what about the hood? I could get a used hood and get it repainted if this is a option.

Just looking to save some money. If it looks like I can fix this for below my deductable I may close the claim as well.

Thanks,

James

lifted disco on 35s? Mannnnnnn, I used to drive a defender, and had a stock disco as a service loaner for a couple times and felt that thing was waaaaaaaay topheavy, thing rocked forward something fierce when brakes were applied, where's the center of gravity on that thing, like 6' in the air? Sorry to hear about the S4, hope it works out for you
