Default Bumper Repair Recommendation Seattle or Eastside?

Anybody recommend a place for plastic bumper repair? I did a bonehead thing and backed into a lamp post in Pioneer Square. Poked a hole in the lower part of the rear bumper. I'm wondering if the puncture wound could be repaired/disguised.

Barrier Audi has a complete new bumper for $450. I'm thinking the a body shop will want another $500 or so to paint it.

Thanks.

Default Just had mine done @ Haury's on Lake City Way. Not cheap, but it came out perfect!

They took the front bumper down to the plastic, & the rear is a brand new one. I'm very happy with the result.

The link has some pics form WW this past weekend.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/pacificnw/threads/13935.phtml#128697">https://forums.audiworld.com/pacificnw/threads/13935.phtml#128697</a</li></ul>

Default Achtuning has rear bumpers in stock. Give them a call, see what they charge.

Installation is pretty easy, you could probably do it yourself.

Ouch. Although if that includes paint, I guess that's not bad.

Paint on a bumper alone can cost $1000.

Default LOL, don't get body work done much? That is rear bumper painted & fitted,

front bumper taken down to plastic, primed &amp; painted, then finishing up the grill work &amp; installing the new RS4 grills.

It's a lot of work, if you want it done properly, it's going to cost you. The rear to be painted &amp; fitted was around $500.

RS4 front bumper fitment alone is around $550 if done correctly. Paint is on top of that.
