Hi all, hope you’re “enjoying” the polar vortex if you’re residing in the Midwest. I certainly am NOT. Having said that my A7 slid off some black ice and I damaged my front grill, with a small crack in the front bumper too. Any idea how to go about it, even though I’ll be heading to my local Audi dealer today. Costs ? I’m planning not to use insurance unless the cost is too high. Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear. I drove out of the garage this morning and was surprised how slick the road are. With the extreme cold (Chicago) we are not getting the “dry line” on the streets we normally do.

Unless hit hard enough to cause body damage I would have the dealer look at it first. With all the sensors we have on the front of the car they would be in a better position to evaluate next steps.

Keep us posted

thanks for the prompt reply. As much as I love Chicago, the weather is not something to “die” for...
i agree, will start with the dealer.. and will keep you posted

did check with the local Audi body shop... appears that the grill n bumper have to be replaced. About 3-4 K average. Wondering if I should go through insurance ? Don’t want my rates to jump up too drastically .
