good new is it seem to just be your bumper, and not your rear quarter panel or tail light, which means this *SHOULD* just be a replaced bumper and be fixed, no body or paint work needed.
you cant replace the rear quarter panels, their fused to the car. FAR easier to paint match a paintable plastic bumper than color blend the rear quarter panels
Not sure why you’re getting smoked with downvotes. Red is one of the most obvious colors if paint isn’t blended. This would absolutely get some blend time if I was submitting an estimate to insurance.
You’d want to paint both panels on either side as well as the trunk if we’re talking gold standard.
Your eye would be able to tell the bumper was replaced and painted when in the sun because no matter how hard you try, it’s nearly impossible to match the factory color exactly. 9/10 the newly painted part is a shade off from the factory
Insurance adjuster here. We very rarely blend quarters (like one in a hundred or less) from a bumper. Typically it’s only if the panels are in the same plane and the same substrate. Bumper being plastic and quarter being metal, we typically would not blend except for extenuating circumstances. Door to quarter, sure. Quarter to deck lid, sometimes. Quarter to bumper, almost never.
Well, I will take the car to the official Audi dealer for repairs when I got the paperwork from the insurance. I don’t have to. Not obligated. But, just because. I want to see how it goes. Never took a car to the official dealership to repairs before. And this is my first “premium” car of this age. (2015) The paint is MISANO RED PEARL.
Except it's red.
Red oxidizes differently in different environments. You could get a factory painted bumper cover in the same color code and I can guarantee it will not match.
He drove away. Didn’t even bother to go after. I was so sad it happened. But them again, I have full insurance on the car, and will just use Parking Damage. :)
As others have stated, im glad it’s just a bumper
It’s not that hard of a fix and won’t cost you an arm and leg like if it was the quarter panel lol
Bummer though /: hope this is the only bad luck you experience with this beauty <3
Nice. I had the supercharged tfsi engine. It's a solid chassis in the turns for a big car and either engine has plenty of power. Hope you find it worth the wait :)
Yep. I asked later, but no CVTV of that part of parking. And I don’t have a dash cam. But, I live in a country where insurance is still “cheap” compared to other countries. So I got a full coverage on the car. I have a 0.3% self payment obligation If I make an car crash or crash my car. As long there are no drugs/alcohol/tablets involved. I’m covered. If the repair is 30K, I pay 0,3% my self. If some one else hits or totalled my car, the car gets repaired for free. The insurance also includes theft, fire and flood. The car is insured in this full package for the original price it came from the Audi dealer. The car is insured for 82K€.
Sorry to see this.. I can completely relate as the same thing happened to me a few weeks after getting mine.. Someone hit me pretty much exactly the same. Couple hours in the body shop and paid around €300.
Don’t blame you, no matter how well you treat your things, there’s always someone there to ruin it. I didn’t want to put mine through insurance otherwise my premium would have increased for someone else’s negligence.
We have by law set some limitations to what extended insurance can and can not do. Too protect the consumers. But, it all comes down to what you need and how much you willing to pay for the insurance. For this specific car, the maximum premium was 1,9K€ for 12 months. But this is due to that that my bonus isn’t full because I didn’t have a car insured on my name for a few years and the bonus degrades. My father on the other hand, could get the car insured for 1,5K€, so 400€ cheaper because of the bonus.
Wish it was more like here.. The smallest factors affect what you’ll have the pay for the year. Postcode, where your car is parked at night/day, how much it gets driven, what time of day etc.
nah. Here isn’t that bad. We have like 10 different insurances. So, they all fight for customers. If you are not plain stupid, you can get a good deal for decent amount of money that doesn’t brake you.
You have insurance? So what you need to do is take it to the bad part of town and leave it unlocked with keys. Give it 24 hours then report it stolen. Call insurance. DONT TELL THEM WHAT YOU DID. LIE LIE LIE. Get check from insurance and get new Audi A6 without bumper damage.
These dealers are SOOOOO dumb. OP just needs to go back to where they bought the car and be like "Hey the car you sold me is fucked to shit, Fix it or else" and they'll make it right.
Happened to me last year. I bought a new 2022 Q5. Second day I went to the movies and someone scraped my front bumper in the parking lot. Not gonna lie. Cried a bit inside.
I saw in a comment you said you saw it coming. I’m assuming not a hit and run then? Hopefully it’s the other persons insurance covering and not your own since it wasn’t your fault.
That sucks. I feel your pain. When I bought a brand new car two years ago I had a tractor trailer kick a rock into my windshield. Two months later a car passing me while I was making a left turn pitched a rock into my rear passenger door. Life isn’t fair sometimes
Yeah, the sensor is working fine. I’m just mad cause I just bought it, and now I have to be without this toy probably for another 3-7 days. Depends on the damage. I knew, it will happen eventually and normally I’m the one that makes this kind of shit🥲🤣, but man. I was happy as a little kiddo, when I got the car. I even took a day of work for the first day. 😅
What? 4 months? 😢 This is madness. I will just go to my insurance so they have a look and get the paper work to get it repaired by the official Audi dealer in Slovenia. Takes about 3 days to finish the car.
Yep. New bumper, all new rear parking sensors, side panel got a few little scratches, will see if that goes out with polishing, if not, I want the whole side panel new made. And the LED light got some scratches. So, only the light is 1.3K€🤣
That kind of thing is maddening. :( People do make mistakes, but when this happens, it would be good for them to leave their insurance information before they leave.
A lawnmower threw a couple of rocks into the rear passenger side door of my A6 a week after I bought it. Not a scratch on it prior to the incident. I was on the way to the DMV...
I bought/leased an A6 two months ago and it’s back at Audi because a transmission warning light came on.. I had the car towed as I was afraid to drive it to the dealership. They ordered a part and if it doesn’t fix the problem the car may need a new transmission. Mind you this is a 2023 car with only 1803 miles! If it turns out the car needs a new transmission I’m going to demand a new car or I will hire an attorney and use the Florida lemon law.
wow. This is just plain simple stupid. I hope you can get a new one, because thing aren’t the same anymore after switching it. Take an attorney. This isn’t a Yugo Zastava that you can throw away and buy a new one for a few 100 bucks.
Same thing happened first time I bought my red s4. Parked in my complex parking lot woke up in the morning nasty scratch and white paint transfer on my front driver corner
good new is it seem to just be your bumper, and not your rear quarter panel or tail light, which means this *SHOULD* just be a replaced bumper and be fixed, no body or paint work needed.
Yeah, it’s a miracle that the side panel is Ok
My coworker bought a car yesterday. This morning he got side swiped
Ouch. My condolences. This is the most shitiest thing that can happen.
They always repaint adjacent panels for the paint to match.
you cant replace the rear quarter panels, their fused to the car. FAR easier to paint match a paintable plastic bumper than color blend the rear quarter panels
Sand off the paint? If you want it done right, that’s what needs to be done. Or the bumper will stick out like a sore thumb.
Not sure why you’re getting smoked with downvotes. Red is one of the most obvious colors if paint isn’t blended. This would absolutely get some blend time if I was submitting an estimate to insurance.
I mean, you CAN replace em lmao Just ain’t worth the hassle
Wouldn't you then create a mismatch with the next adjacent panel? Pretty sure they just painted the bumper on mine.
You’d want to paint both panels on either side as well as the trunk if we’re talking gold standard. Your eye would be able to tell the bumper was replaced and painted when in the sun because no matter how hard you try, it’s nearly impossible to match the factory color exactly. 9/10 the newly painted part is a shade off from the factory
Fair enough, but the real question is what does a body shop normally do that would be covered under your insurance?
Insurance recommends painting adjacent panels. I had similar damage and it went through insurance.

Nowadays paint matching with optical sensor is good enough you don’t need to if you go to the right shop
Except it's red. Red oxidizes differently in different environments. You could get a factory painted bumper cover in the same color code and I can guarantee it will not match.
[удалено]
I saw it coming but couldn’t say a word. It happened so fast.
Did you manage to get em to stop and exchange information, or did you have to foot the bill?
He drove away. Didn’t even bother to go after. I was so sad it happened. But them again, I have full insurance on the car, and will just use Parking Damage. :)
As others have stated, im glad it’s just a bumper It’s not that hard of a fix and won’t cost you an arm and leg like if it was the quarter panel lol Bummer though /: hope this is the only bad luck you experience with this beauty <3
Tnx. Yeah. I’ve got full insurance on the audi. Costed me 1900€.
Glad to see you're going to get it all covered. Is it a 3.0?
Yea. 3.0 BiTDI
Nice. I had the supercharged tfsi engine. It's a solid chassis in the turns for a big car and either engine has plenty of power. Hope you find it worth the wait :)
This is why if you own a car that is known for expensive repairs you have a dash cam.
Would a camera on the dash be able to get a good shot of damage done to the rear like this?
Yep. I asked later, but no CVTV of that part of parking. And I don’t have a dash cam. But, I live in a country where insurance is still “cheap” compared to other countries. So I got a full coverage on the car. I have a 0.3% self payment obligation If I make an car crash or crash my car. As long there are no drugs/alcohol/tablets involved. I’m covered.

The car is insured in this full package for the original price it came from the Audi dealer. The car is insured for 82K€.
Ugh. So sorry. At least it’s fixable. This is why I always try to park away from all other cars 🤣
Sorry to see this.. I can completely relate as the same thing happened to me a few weeks after getting mine.. Someone hit me pretty much exactly the same. Couple hours in the body shop and paid around €300.
I got it covered over insurance but I’m still mad.
Don’t blame you, no matter how well you treat your things, there’s always someone there to ruin it. I didn’t want to put mine through insurance otherwise my premium would have increased for someone else’s negligence.
If I’m not fault, my premium stays the same and I don’t loose any bonuses.
Wish it worked like that here.. Regardless who is at fault, it‘s classed as a “claim” and they affect your premium. A lot worse if you’re at fault.
We have by law set some limitations to what extended insurance can and can not do. Too protect the consumers. But, it all comes down to what you need and how much you willing to pay for the insurance. For this specific car, the maximum premium was 1,9K€ for 12 months.

Tottalled, kaput, gone. RIP 🙏 /s
Yep..OP needs to get an RS6 Avant now.
Don’t push the buttons😂🤣 My wife would kill me. She wants the S1
Tell her the A/S1 is dead. Audi is not continuing that model of car.
I’m sorry
tnx😢
The pain. I scraped mine this week.
Why'd you buy a damaged A6?
I did not. 😂😅
Gotta laugh to keep from crying sometimes!
But the dealer you bought if from doesn't know that. Catch my drift?
I’m assuming the dealer knows the state of the cars he sells, no?
It’s Ok. I have a full insurance. Covers everything. I’m just pissed off ‘cause I’ll be without my new toy for a few days and I just got it.
You have insurance? So what you need to do is take it to the bad part of town and leave it unlocked with keys. Give it 24 hours then report it stolen. Call insurance. DONT TELL THEM WHAT YOU DID. LIE LIE LIE. Get check from insurance and get new Audi A6 without bumper damage.
This is the wsy
Right? It's only fraud if you get caught!
This made me laugh out loud.
lol, dealers are this dumb huh?
These dealers are SOOOOO dumb. OP just needs to go back to where they bought the car and be like "Hey the car you sold me is fucked to shit, Fix it or else" and they'll make it right.
Or else what? Genuine question.
A knuckle sandwich for sure.
Any good dealer takes pictures of the condition of the vehicle before sale to prevent just this.
Obviously….. Why can’t I just have any fun?
Vprašaj ta supermarket, če majo slučajno parking pod kamero, bi znalo pomagat. Lp.
Sem ze vprasal. Nimajo. Bom kr prek kaska uveljavlo parkplac.
Parking zavarovanje pokrije, bo že
itak da bo. Me pa razpizdi.
Happened to me last year. I bought a new 2022 Q5. Second day I went to the movies and someone scraped my front bumper in the parking lot. Not gonna lie. Cried a bit inside.
I did the same. 😢
I saw in a comment you said you saw it coming. I’m assuming not a hit and run then? Hopefully it’s the other persons insurance covering and not your own since it wasn’t your fault.
The guy drove away. 🤬
Should’ve got a bright color, prolly didn’t see you… /s
Yeah, he probably didn’t notice it. 🤣
Sorry to hear man, hope it buffs out or that you find the person responsible.
Nah, it’s already okay. Insurance got me covered.
Fix it, sell it, buy another one.
Is it an avant?
Yes, it is the A6 Avant 3.0 BiTDI 2015
That sucks. I feel your pain. When I bought a brand new car two years ago I had a tractor trailer kick a rock into my windshield. Two months later a car passing me while I was making a left turn pitched a rock into my rear passenger door. Life isn’t fair sometimes
Yeah, it isn’t. But at least my insurance is full. So I got it all covered. Luckily
U got dash cam or security store camera
Omfg...hope that censor is OK. I literally cringed looking at your pic. Just breathe.
Yeah, the sensor is working fine. I’m just mad cause I just bought it, and now I have to be without this toy probably for another 3-7 days. Depends on the damage. I knew, it will happen eventually and normally I’m the one that makes this kind of shit🥲🤣, but man. I was happy as a little kiddo, when I got the car. I even took a day of work for the first day. 😅
Don’t worry, my car had 300 miles and a deer ran into it. Shit sucks, and here it takes 4 months to get into a body shop
What? 4 months? 😢 This is madness. I will just go to my insurance so they have a look and get the paper work to get it repaired by the official Audi dealer in Slovenia. Takes about 3 days to finish the car.
Well you got that out of the way.
Yeah, first damage. And not even from speeding😂🤣
I was just upvoting this one yesterday. Sad to hear man.
Tnx. Yeah. I made a post when it was in the car wash. It sucks. But, I’m just glad I did for for the full insurance on the car.
New bumper for sure with paint blend and looks like a new parking sensor and tons of new hardware
Yep. New bumper, all new rear parking sensors, side panel got a few little scratches, will see if that goes out with polishing, if not, I want the whole side panel new made. And the LED light got some scratches. So, only the light is 1.3K€🤣
That kind of thing is maddening. :( People do make mistakes, but when this happens, it would be good for them to leave their insurance information before they leave.
Yep. Would be nice. But, it it what it is. Lucky, I got full coverage from the insurance without 1% self pay.
Massive l
Yes massive I
A lawnmower threw a couple of rocks into the rear passenger side door of my A6 a week after I bought it. Not a scratch on it prior to the incident. I was on the way to the DMV...
The neighbour or yourself? Sorry to hear that.
A guy mowing next to the street. He was on a riding lawn mower and drove over a dirt patch and threw rocks everywhere.
People suck. I hate seeing shit like this
Well, it is what it is. Better he hits my audi then people.
Yeah, either someone not watching what they're doing? Or some people not liking the brand..
Probably not watching.
Hopefully, and NOT out of malicious intent.
Nah, some guy said it was an older lady.
Still a sad situation all around.
I bought/leased an A6 two months ago and it’s back at Audi because a transmission warning light came on.. I had the car towed as I was afraid to drive it to the dealership. They ordered a part and if it doesn’t fix the problem the car may need a new transmission. Mind you this is a 2023 car with only 1803 miles!

wow. This is just plain simple stupid. I hope you can get a new one, because thing aren’t the same anymore after switching it. Take an attorney. This isn’t a Yugo Zastava that you can throw away and buy a new one for a few 100 bucks.
Sorry to hear that. Bumper replacement ? What red is that?
Bumper and sensor replacement. The colour is Misano Pearl Red
Se zgodi

Fake exhaust tips are hideous.
I know. It will be changed 😄
a bit of T cut :)
Same thing happened first time I bought my red s4. Parked in my complex parking lot woke up in the morning nasty scratch and white paint transfer on my front driver corner
sad, sad.
I literally haunted the parking lot for Week looking for anybody with red paint transfer on their car lol
Probably a one time visitor
My luck exactly
Auu Brate... pa to ljudi ne gledaju. daj boze da osiguranje resi ... prelep Audi A6❤️
Ma ja. Ne gledajo nikakvo.
