front end smash need advice

[BUStedVW]

Brian,

Thanks for the info. The car was hit from the front and side. No hood gaps
at all. I put a new fender on and am putting on a new bumper and grill. The
fender and the sub-frame bolted right on with no problem. The bolts for the
sub-frame (hit side) are at a slight angle. Also were the wheel well skin
meets the frame rail you can see where it is detached ( 1/2 inch) from
warping just behind the rear sub-frame mount. I was able to straighten the
front apron damage (very minimal) by hand. Should I take the car in with the
bumper and grill off. What about the fender should it come off too? I am
only a block away from the frame shop. Do you still think it will take 5-6
hours? That's $350, is the integrity of the car compromised? I drive cars
hard, as most VW Audi drivers should.
