Since she was young, she probably never drove in the snow and thought it was fine and then BAM!

That's exactly what happenned to my car too...on my way for work at 5 in the morning and got hit from the rear by a RAM.....the entire cost for fixing it up at the dealer was close to $2800.....i was a complete noob then and i had no idea what to do.....so just went with the dealer to be on the safe side.....mine is a 96 a4 quattro...

was your frame not bent? a corner hit like that usually bends the frame which can be a major bear even after it looks fixed. look at space between pillar and door on both sides of car and see if it's the same. Maybe you already addressed this. If so, please ignore. Good luck with the fix. Kudos on doing it yourself!

yea the rear drivers side was down 3mm form factory. you can see the little targets i got hangin on the bottom of my car that reflect the laser that i have sitting in the center of the car then it relays it back to the computer and tells me what way it needs to go... the frame wasnt to bent really i mean the most of it was on top from the jeep jumping over the rear bumper and hitting the quarter and trunk.
thanks for the luck i will need it lol

lookin good man!

can't wait to see it painted!

either tint the tail lights you have or get a set of stockers....

keep up the good work!

might as well do the lowers while you are at it....

oh, and I think it would look awesome if you shave the lower valences on the bumpers

shave???the lower valance?? are you just sayin paint it or acutally blend it into the bumper?? so there is no line?

i was thinkin about doin this but then when i was lookin at it. the lower valance is more of a rubbery flexiable plastic and the bumper is more solid. so it would be very hard to not get crackin even when you use the right plastic filler and plastic weld them together.

he's saying just paint the lowers valances so they match the car.

I'm with Quattro_1.8t in saying get some 99.5-01 tails and then tint them a bit

and I gotta say you do some real good work, that thing looks brand new and I can't wait to see it all finished.

got any more pics of the headlights, they look kinda cool
