Default Update on car

Well some of you know I bought my 2011 A6 and within a week I had an elderly lady hit me. I got the car back from the body shop after 4 weeks and the car still isn't 100% back visually. And mechanically I'm fight with them still. Once everything thing is all said and done the total in damages will be right at $20,000. 😳

The driver side head needs replacing still, the lower center bumper piece and splitter need replacing. And a whole lot of front end suspension work.

Oh yeah I have tried and tried to get the fitmit of the front end back to oe spec but I can't. The gaps on the hood and bumper suck and the grill and hood suck.

The grill to hood gap is bigger than the other gaps on the car, it should be - gap is suggested 5.5 mm ± 0.5 mm

Well if you look at the gaps on my car vs. the white car they are different and my hood needs to go forward or bumper back.

Did you really park your car in a handicap parking spot to take pictures?

Are you doing all new coilovers or just springs?

I went with KW and have been very pleased.
