Default !#%!@#% I need a new front bumper!

My wife parked my '97 A8 and the front bumper cover got caught on the curb. When pulling out, the bumper cover pulled off, damaging the cover, the plastic which fits under the engine, and God knows what else (headlight washers?)

Where can I find a bumper and the under-engine plastic for my '97 A8 (other than a dealer?) and what else will I need to do to get this fixed?

Many thanks!

In my state (PA) you can't sue your wife, but you can name your baby Sue. LOL

I just had a similar situation. The bumper came off. Auto body shop gave me an estimate over $1200. A friend of mine (car mechanic) fixed it for 1/2 hour by reattaching it and adding a couple of bolts under the license plate.

Paldi, did I know that you are in Pa. or am I asleep at the wheel again? Any appropriate answer will do!
