Dealership scraped my R8 what to do?

My Audi R8 was at the dealership to get the clutch replaced and they ended up scraping the front. The damage is small but it's there. They offered to buff it or to repaint it. If they repaint it they have to repaint the whole bumper. What should I do?

I'm curious to know if they owned up to their mistake or was it you that brought the problem up with them?

lol, buff?

This isn't a paint scratch. The plastic's scuffed up. This isn't a corolla.
Act like a stereotypical pretentious expensive car owner and demand a new bumper.

Now the damage itself looks pretty minor, and you're probably not an asshole, so it's up to you. But I believe you have every right to ask for a new bumper if you do go that route.

Also, not sure how good the painters are at dealerships. I would get them to fund you to get it painted at a good autobody shop instead. They probably have better painters.

Wreck your car in front of the dealership with your best golf clubs

Bring a loudspeaker.

Works everytime.



All jokes aside, bumper replacement for sure.
That will definitely not buff out

This happened to me when I had my BRZ. Scraped the front on the curb all across the whole front. They booked me in to get the bumper repainted. When they drove the car back to the dealer they did it AGAIN but worse . They ended up switching front bumpers with a new same color BRZ they had on the lot.

lesson learned, don't burn the clutch in an R8.









replacement bumper or a lawsuit for replacement bumper and legal fees - let them pick.

I'm assuming it's the Nanaimo Volkswagen dealership since Manic lives in Nanaimo.

The dealer is 90 minutes away in Victoria and my Dads friend had an appointment so he got a ride with him.
