    Also depends on year of the car etc. I'm assuming at that price, you're talking about a genuine Volkswagen part

    Did you go to vw? If yes try other suggestions or find a good indy that the vw garage give out to anyway as they don't tend to do in house.

    I would say that's the going rate 1000 euros. I fitted a few bumper DIY takes a long time to get it fittings 100% . Other driver will probably have a kitten if he paying cash

    Would you recommend getting it replaced. The repair job would also look perfect.

    If the other driver is paying for it then work away with main stealer as it is your perogative. If he doesn't like the quote, tell him fine, no bother. you'll just get his insurer to pay it. See how he likes that.

    No harm in pricing at a reliable indy, it will be one of those doing it anyway even through vw garage.

    Best would be new of course but totally up to you op.
    You want the car back to how it was pre collision.

    Some dealers have bodyshop. Our local vw audi dealer has bodyshop so not always farmed out.

    Is the car on finance with the dealer's bank, pcp/hp? you may have to go through them, perhaps check the T&Cs.
