First job today was to take the car to the local air con specialist to get the air con degassed so I could get the condesnsor infront of the radiator off. After that I got the radiator off, took a while because of a siezed up bolt, was about to put the new radiator on but realised it had badly perished from the bit where the Auto transmission fluid pipe would attach to, one call to A8 Parts and they are sending out a replacement for Thursday. Just a small setback, but fingers crossed it should all be done Friday. Have sent the bumper to a very good local bodyshop to be patched up and re sprayed, didn't want to experiment and wanted a proper job so thought this was best, luckily they had the right paint there (Aluminuim Silver LY7M) in stock, so that will be ready for me tomorrow at 12PM. Currently the bill for all the parts is around £600. Without A8 Parts and without all the knowledge on this forum that gave me the confidence to go ahead with this, I would be looking at thousands. I'm guessing the bonnet alone would be at least £600 from Audi, so thanks everyone. 
Will get some pics and a status update to you soon!
