S4 crunch

Lost the back end on a roundabout and hit the kerb pretty hard with left front, steering is really stiff and wheel has been pushed back a few inches. Any ideas about what this is gonna cost?

Re: S4 crunch

Difficult to 'guesstimate' needs to be viewed first to check for primary, then secondary damage.Decent Panel Repairers' close by?

Re: S4 crunch

There's a good mechanic in Pershore, he's had a look and made some discouraging noises. He's putting it on a ramp this morning and hopefully it's only wishbones and stuff that need replacing but worst case scenario is twisted chassis which will be very expensive.
Moral of the story is drive carefully especially if you aren't used to twitchy, rear wheel drive cars. I am absolutely gutted but it could have been worse.
