It does that. And an ugly one to boot.

Here you go - actually a Spanish effort it seems and mercifully not an RS.

That is proper gopping.
No matter where you go, there you are.

You will be pleased to hear that I'm going through the insurance and it will be a C5 front that's fitted.
I spoke with the seller of the bonnet in the ads , and he is realistic about what price he wants , however , finding a 'good' bumper is not cheap . £400 seems to be the going rate inc fogs.grills, fittings, so all in all , its still going to be 4-500 quid more than my excess, and worst scenario is my renewal in 9 months will go up by %50 , i will still be quids in .
have confirmed the insurance accident repair centre will be using genuine Audi parts and panels.
I'm paying £428 atm , with £650 excess ( £500 compulsory and 150 voluntary)

The suesuckme driver had a job speaking English , so to get an admission of fault just wasn't going to happen, and ultimately i hit him, so its my fault regardless of his pre accident actions ( in the eyes of my insurer), I remember when other drivers used to stop to offer witness accounts after an accident.
My insurers have confirmed they wont be entertaining any whiplash claim at the speed i was doing............. made sure they know about that, and they will confirm the speed involved when the repairer reports back on the damage, have sent pictures of the other parties car to them as well :)

I must admit though, the pictures mavada posted are growing on me , I've seen worse plastic surgery nose jobs before :lol:

Thank you to everyone for links , suggestions and comments on this . the good thing is I've now learnt of a couple of rs6 breakers because of it.
