Default Got in an accident this morning

screwed up the front bumper, from what i can tell so far, is the grill is dented, a headlight poped out a little and one of the tabs for it is broken. Big scape on the bumper. It looks like im leaking fluid from one of the aliens, but im not sure yet.

Anyone have some recomendations on Body shops in Dallas, TX?
Also anyone selling Grills, Front Bumpers, and passenger headlight housings? Or recomend where to buy them? Factory/Aftermarket.
I lost all my links last week when i replaced my laptop.


btw first accident ever and this sucks.

Default If it's just the mounting tabs on the headlight, audi has a repair kit. About $35-40

If you've cracked the casing then you'll need to find a used part. My insurance company gave me the $1000 to replace my headlight and I got a lens and casing for $10 used and the mounting tab repair kit (the used case had broken tabs) and came out $950 ahead. Swapping the internals isn't too hard to do.

Default I've heard alot of good things about............

Details Ltd. Body Shop
15508 Midway Rd. 75244
972.392.2277

And are very highly recommended over on the North TX Audi Group site. I need to get some work done and am going to try them.

I've had work done at

Stuarts Paint and Body shop
10440 Plano Rd
(214) 221-6999

They do good work, just took a long time. Hope this helps.

Try this website

They have lots of used and new parts for cheap. The only issue is that are located in UK but then shipping from UK is not that expensive and you have a lot of parts to order.
