any good motor factors could match up the paint--the rest is just taking your time too rub down for good finnish then paint--at a shop-HHHmmmmmm anywhere from couple hunner(an yes if you can find them the, A team can be a lot cheeper)--too 3 or 4- depending on just how much they into ripping you or the rest off us good folk off !!!! Funny realy--I have same prob on my wee car-some cu%% hit it while it parked-bumper an wee bit wing(rear) but I nae bothered realy. it last a life time- the looks of the car in no way reflect what condition it is in or,just how well it performs-hahahaha- bodywork dont afect the performance !!!!!!!

Might just be the angle of the photo, but the exhaust pipes look to me like they have been shunted to the left? I'm willing to bet the crash bar beneath the bumper cover is bent, and you might also have damage to the rear of the boot floor - have you looked around the spare wheel to see if you can see any burst seams?

My guess would be you need a new crash bar, a new bumper cover, a new diffuser (the clips look like they have snapped off on yours) and possibly a replacement rear exhaust section? I can also see a little damage on the bootlid too, but I think this could easily be repaired. I had someone run into the back of my previous car (A6) and it ended up looking quite similar to yours (see below). It was quite a big job to fix it because the boot floor had been bent. I'd get your assessed by a body shop to see what the damage is, then you can make a decision on how to proceed from there.

Good luck!
