Default Pics from my accident on Monday

Slid on the icy entrance to the Dept. of Public Works in the city that I work for. Hit a metal pole for a gate. Going between 3-5mph.

I am putting in a claim with them and they will likely be paying for the damage. In the mean time, I'll be using this as an opportunity to do the TB/waterpump, RS4 ICs and a few other items while I'm in there.

Any thought/guesses as to the damage estimate?

Wow that blows. That's from a 3-5 mph hit! Wonder what 6-8 mph would have looked like 8^o

Ouch! Can't imagine how that must have felt/sounded.

Default Sorry to see that, depends on what parts need to be replaced a bumper probably is around $400-500

possibly more, unless you go with the RS4 bumper.

Default My guess is 3-4k. Looks like mostly cosmetic damage but i don't like how far in that bumper suppo

support was pushed in.

I'd also look into buying some snow tires.

Default RS4 costs more on it's own and that's before you do all the labor to make it fit. There is NO way

it comes out costing about the same amount. It will be much more.
