Think I've already burnt my bridges there. Gonna just tell the bodyshop to return the new OED bumper (it's identical to what's on bar the skirt) and respray the old one. Then at least the paint job will be right. Then I'll just close the book on the whole thing. I've been on with it since February

Ok. Seems I've been wrong all along. Many thanks for your time on this. Seems I owe the garage an apology. Mark

I shall. Thanks for the suggestion Neil

We took the new bumper off. There was no signs of repair to the structure just half of the bumper painted. Also, when I checked with VAG UK the part number they gave me (according to my reg number didn't match with what was printed on the new bumper. So with the skirt missing and the parts number discrepancy my assumption was that the bumper had been swapped for a second hand one with the damaged side Pai red to look like a repair had taken place Are you saying that the le mans edition bumper was no different from the s line?

From the pics it looks the same but the 'old' bumper had a skirt on the underside. Rubber I think. I know because I damaged it reversing out of my drive prior to the crash. On the 'new' bumper no such skirt exists. Nowhere even to attach it either. My mechanic agrees even. I took it to him to see if it was repairable

That is a pic prior to repair. Note the red scuff on the wing.

It's a 2010 model s-line le mans edition. Had a bump and sent the car off for repairs and it came back with another bumper on it! This went to court and I won but now can't find another bumper like it. Here's a pic of the car just after the accident. It's possible the car was modified after it left the factory (is that how they changed it to a le mans edition?), but now I need the part number or to source a second hand one. The car just doesn't look right.

Hi all. First post so be kind. I have a puzzle that I'm hoping members may be able to help me with. I need a front bumper for my A6 Avant le mans. Every parts company (Inc Audi) only want to sell me the s-line bumper not the one destroyed in a recent bash. My old bumper had a skirt along the bottom of it and had more angular form around the intake grills.
