That doesn't mean he had to, and no reply from the OP why he actually did.
It's an Audi . $8000+ .but very fixable .
I’d avoid an aftermarket fender. In fact, I’d fix that fender before ever using an Aftermarket one
If you look at the picture, fender liner was pushed into the tire. It was rubbing bad.
To add to it, behind that side of the bumper, there is the pump and a bunch of hard and soft lines that feed coolant to the supercharger. Even though it was not leaking, I didn't know if any hoses were pierced and were going to cause an issue on the ride home. That coupled with 2k mile tires, one rubbing pretty decent, was not going to try to see how it does at full turn.
Car was towed by the towing company that pretty much shares a parking lot with the body shop.
It is a metallic color.

It's going to be $8,342.
$8348 to be exact. Car's still at the body shop.
Insurance company wanted to use aftermarket fender and plastics on it. I refused, agreed to pay the difference of $400 for all Audi/vw/oem parts.

Thanks for posting the update. Phew! Hope it comes out to your satisfaction and you can safely enjoy the rest of the vehicle's life.
That's my standard answer to anything involving a number. I knew eventually it would work and I guess now is eventually. My other standard answer is Boise, Idaho. No clue why, just those two are my go to. But we'll say I'm the estimate whisperer.
Thanks for the positive outlook. It's sure been a battle with the insurance company. I'll keep people updated when it's done.
