So I'm the office manager of a body shop in Los Angeles, CA, USA. Any reputable body shop would definitely replace the hood, obviously replace the headlight, replace the grille, and anything beyond that requires a thorough teardown to diagnose, but I suspect there isn't much else. Of course the emission label and what have you on the hood also need to be replaced. The fenders MAY need to be blended, but that depends on the painter's skill and/or available paint matching equipment to match the paint. Tornado red is a non-metallic, so matching shouldn't be too difficult, but red is always a multistage job (due to the inherent opacity of red toner). Depending on part prices, this will probably be in the neighborhood of $1000-$1500 USD. Also, chances are used parts aren't yet available for the MK7 GTI (in the US at least), so you'll be getting all new OEM parts. If you'd like a free written estimate from a fellow GTI owner (pretty much same car basically) stop by, we're in Burbank. Check us out on Yelp, Victory Auto Body & Paint!
