S5 Lease Damage

[Audi-25tl4]

My S5 is due to go back in August and sustained some light damage to the front drivers side area. The headlight looks slight misaligned and the cover for the headlight washer no longer sits correctly, a few scuff to the lower bumper too.

What's the best action to take here? Do I take it into Audi, independent garage (don't think that's permitted) for repair now or wait until the assessor comes out?

This is my first lease so not sure what's best to do.......

General advice has been to leave it, as VWFS charges are usually cheaper than you could get it repaired for. Also if you get it repaired and it's not up to the standard of the inspector, you'll end up paying again.

You could always put it through your insurance and be done with it
