£1,000 at an OPC body shop, £200 mobile, from recent experience. The hard part is getting the finish right on the plastic although its hard to judge how "deep" that scuff is from a picture.

The painted bit can be repaired no problem at all, but as stated above, the non painted part could be awkward to get a perfect finish. I'd say it shouldn't be more than £600.
I've never been a fan of cats.

Update:

Went to a Porsche approved repairer this morning.

There is a small chip on the bumper which I only noticed yesterday. This and the damage to the rear apron mid-section can be repaired, no replacement required.
However, the diffuser has a textured finish and will need replacing.

They can't get a price for the diffuser as Porsche are now closed, but they estimate that part alone is £400-500.
In total, and only an estimate, I'm looking at about £1500.

I will know for definite in the new year.

I have not received a quote from any of the smart repairers such as Chips Away, but here is my dilemma.
Do I stick with a repairer authorised by Porsche and, therefore, able to demonstrate using their recommended repairer should there be any subsequent issues with paint defects etc. or choose a non approved repairer but cheaper?

I will get a quote elsewhere to obtain another repairers' opinion on what can be done.

Bloody cat!

Ps love the way it is referred to as a diffuser and yet probably actually does the square root of bugger all as to what the name implies !

Ps

You could just wait for the next Audi driver to tailgate you (won’t have to wait long) and then brake hard because a cat ran out in the road….

This will get it fixed on their insurance and also the cat will redeem itself

Of course this will backfire slightly if the Audi driver swerved and you actually run over the cat

As some guide here's the quote I got, apologies for the quality but can't upload a .docx.

Can't guarantee it's the same part but gives an idea. I took pity on the guy that caused it and had it repaired, no parts or filler, by a local, previously used, mobile for £200. In your place I'd take the view that it could be redone another 4 times for the same cost but it was perfect first time.

Good luck whatever you decide.

You beat me to it... an Audi or a white van. Either will do. :twisted:

Try and find out who the OPC use and go direct for a quote.
Or have a good search on the tinterweb over Christmas for some recommended repairers close to you.
What part of the country are you in, Norf, Midlands or Sarf?

Edit, sorry only just woke up. You went to their repairer I see, so scrap that.

Thanks, Neil.

That's a good way of looking at it.
I'll have a better idea of which way I'm inclined to go once I get some other quotes.
