Morning all, I was hoping you wonderful people could advise me on how much a repair might cost (if it's possible) on the damage shown in the image?
The car is a 2016 scirocco, and a fallen branch attacked me out of nowhere
.
I understand costs will vary wildly based on the shop I take it to, but an average/ballpark would help me start budgeting for it.
Thanks.

Yup, plastic weld / fill / spray.
Aberdeen prices tend to be higher than most other places, but I'd still be surprised to pay more than £300 all in (labour and materials).
Might be an idea to spend money on new tyres first though. eh?1 -
That doesn't look too bad at all. Lower end repair would just be a bit of plastic-welding, then localised paint.1

Would be worth an alignment check ASAP, save you going through tyres every 2000 miles.1
