Some clown had decided to use the front of my car to help negotiate a snowy junction today. Didn't discover this until I had returned to the car late this evening to find a dipped beam bulb blown and the main beam pointing at the sky. They didn't leave a note or anything, just skidmarks in the snow.
I now need to find a new front bumper and rebuild/replace the driverside headlamp and indicator (I think I have spares for these).
Anyone out there breaking a silver (LY7M) A6?

Update: Nope, no spares..
Pulled it apart in daylight, all 4 headlamp mountings snapped - crossbrace beneath light is slightly bent, wing and bonnet slightly bent too. Grr.

New indicator was sourced the following monday from GSF - thanks for the offers though.
Headlamp was re-shelled into a marginally less buggered casing with only 1 broken mount.
Still hunting/hoping for an intact bumper in silver. Have found a green one local to me, but don't fancy having to splurge on a paint-job if I can avoid it.
