Dont you need 'Gap' Insurance for that?

Not (generally) in the first 12 months of a fully comp policy.

Nope not for the 1st year. Gap will cover you for the subsequent years.

It's well under a month old lol

I do have Gap too with Audi.

It all depends on what the Direct Line assesor thinks. I don't think a weld is a satisfactory fix on a performance car of this age.

If it is fixed then I will be seeking a Diminution claim from their insurers for about 10% of the vehicles value. This will cover any losses I face when I come to sell the car (if they know it's been repaired)

According to the bodyshop they will repair it to factory standard whatever happens.

I have now got a 1500 mile BMW M6 outside, the grin I have when I drive it it unreal.

Would I swap it for the RS 4 ? Hell no!
