Can anyone give a guesstimate what a dent fix will cost?

    Ouch - replacing the panel does sound pricey for a high-tech tin can :-$ But I see what people mean with the lease end. Ohhhh, silly expensive car, why couldn't they have gone with a knackered old Allegro instead? Technically a classic car...

    This is why we have insurance :)

    Excuse me for stating the obvious, but if you jumped into a full dealer repair for a scuff on a couple of panels at the start of your lease, can I buy it when it's over? It'll be a new car by then!
    Just remember, the first scratch is the most painful and it is only a heap of metal.

    It means nothing to me, means more to the guy paying ;-)

    tbh I would just clean it up and polish it just now and repair it near the lease end with other scuffs and damage accrued.

    Why take it to Audi? most of them will contract the work out to a bodyshop and you pay them big commission for their minimal effort
