Thanks for the comments guys. Most likely will not be totaled (but it's possible), if it is I'm pulling off the goodies that I want (cd player, amp, chiped ecu, sway bar, hood/grill) and turning the car over to the insurance company and staying in the B5 family. So no part out, sorry.

I would plan on getting another B5, and maybe trying to push for an S4 but again, most likely will be repaired. The front bumper is cracked and scuffed so I'm gonna see if I cant get it upgraded to an S4 bumper. I'll be taking it to Thelen VW/Audi in Bay City in the morning, they're an awesome dealership that has taken care of me before. After that I just have to get the claims adjuster to look at it.

Ew, sorry about this! I don't get how this could happen with it parked in the driveway. It almost seems intentional. I'd be cruising around town looking for a car (truck from the looks of what hit you) that has it's front end smashed up.

Yeah, I've got my eyes peeled for any truck/jeep/suv with front right damage, and maybe some silver paint. I've got some friends and neighbors on the lookout too. Most likely the person who did this will keep the car garaged for a few weeks if they have any sense in their head.

Took the car to Thelen today, waiting on a quote from them which I can then give to the insurance company.

Yeah if it makes you feel any better I got hit in my work parking lot and the guy just drove off. I was able to pop it out. But there is stil damage and it is very frustrating. Yeah maybe you can get a euro trunk and shave it or something. Make it unique

The dealership quoted the insurance company 3,600 dollars to fix it. I was worried the insurance company would turn it down, but I just got the call from them and they approved it, so work should be commencing shortly. I asked about an S4 bumper and maybe the euro trunk, but they're so hard to find, it's just going to be easiest for them to use the regular parts. Unless someone can link me directly to the parts. I searched around a bit but didnt see anything.

Good to hear. Was the chassis hit/damaged?

$3,600 is a pretty decent cost for all that damage.

Just got my car back from the dealership today, all stock bumpers but it looks great. They did a really good job. Final amount was $4,400 (I'm so glad they didnt total it).
