I knew this stupid retaining wall was going to get me one day. Used to make it around with the A3 easily, but not this time. ( was watching the overhead camera view, and it looked like I had clearance. (I didn't)
The wall comes down as soon as I can find a contractor to do it.
1. Called insurance co.. Transfer hasn't gone through from old car (Still insured through)
2. Call someone to remove the wall.
3. Drink some beer.
4. Go to bed.
I have a similar retaining wall. I did it with my A5 and my RS5, wife did it with her S3. Not as serious as yours, but a scrape nonetheless. Unfortunately I cannot remove the wall....

I should have stopped the driveway contractor when they started to make that piece of crap The curved part extended about 2' further into the driveway than the old wood wall did It was hard to get around it even with the much shorter A3... If possible, I'm going to have the contractor saw it off 2" above the driveway to serve as a warning curb. I'll grade and plant the lower sections, and build a steeply-sloped wall behind the old one with landscape timbers in the higher sections.
Can't slope the corner back too much because there's a big tree in it.
The whole thing. Starting to dig out as much as I can behind it.
That really blows, on the brighter side it looks like you spared damaging the wheel!
Beat me to it...yes, you're a glass half full kinda guy!
OP, coulda been worse and that thing just looks like it jumps out and bites cars, don't beat yourself up over it too badly...oh and single malt scotch does really help smooth things over...ask me how I know.
