It looked intact: what was behind the Audi Q5 grille

A 3D scene of an Audi: a steel spike behind the radiator grille. Illustration, not a measured reconstruction of the damage.

Subtitles: voice-over text.

A dented grille, and a steel spike inside: radiator, intercooler, air conditioning, airbags with pretensioners. 50 items and $5 635 of repairs.

In short

A dented grille can hide a punctured radiator pack.
Deployed airbags also mean seat belt pretensioners and the SRS module.
Ask for photos behind the bumper before you bid.

The amount and the 50 items are from the repair invoice for a specific Audi Q5 2020, not a general price.
