i was involuntary tester of Audi 0-5 mile crash test
Got rear ended on Fullerton, Saturday afternoon, by a minivan at about 5 mph. Great results, no damage whatsoever, i was so shocked that I let the other driver go.
I have 2003 A4 Avant

I would check your under-bumper...
I had simmilar accdent few years ago with my Passat (on Fullerton too) about 5-7 mph. Girl in the other car had deployed airbag and broken nose while my car looked untouched. No visible damage but under plastic cover bumper was smashed. Insurance paid $1500. Girl was driving with no insurance, and after my State Farm tried to recover money...she finally filed bancrupcy.

Re: Not even paint cracking?
Nope, not even paint cracking, I looked pretty carefully on the outside. I couldn't believe it myself. I need to check under the bumper I guess, as Proxus recommended.

My car has nothing but the metal reinforcement bracket under the bumper skin...
...I wouldnt worry about it, but do give a good look see.
OTOH, ALWAYS take the other person's info, regardless.

Happened to me on my A4 once.. I stalled on a light..
and this 16 y/o girl hit me, I took her insurance and all the info and let her go, next day I checked the bumper, even took it to a collision center and it was fine.
I had to call her back to tell her the news, no charges to her ins. at all.
