I couldn't swear to it from just the one picture, but I suspect it isn't that bad. If it was near me (too far from you unfortunately - South coast, nr Portsmouth) I'd be confident about getting that sorted easily enough.
Have you got a straight bonnet and a replacent wing ?
If you take off the bumper and the damaged wing, you should be able to see quite easily how much straightening is needed. You'd know when it was right when the wing and bonnet line up and go from there.

At least with an Audi (and anything German), you're working with quailty.
Plenty of decent brand seam sealer and underseal and job's a good un.

An experienced panel beater once told me to imagine watching a video of the damage as it happened, but in reverse, that's the order in which you're supposed to straighten any dents.
