Brennan,

That is not a part that will need to be fixed but the actual chassis needs to be pulled into shape. Go to a good repair shop and get an estimate. What exactly happened to cause that damage? You obviously have/had more damage to the Audi than just that one part...looks like some kind of front end/side impact.

You should never heat a metallic structural member of an auto body because you have no knowledge of the actual metal it is made from. That part could have been heat treated or tempered that would be greatly affected by someone applying heat to the metal. As raj noted, you need to take that car to a reputable body shop with knowledge of Audi vehicles so it could be repaired to OEM specs.
