I just got my Passat back from being rear ended in a similar fashion. The body shop I use is very good and easy to work with. They were up front about the estimate possibly being revised, and that's exactly what happened. They ended up replacing the crash foam and bumper padding after inspecting it which pushed the repair bill higher.
I put it through the other person's insurance.
