Default Euro style front bumper installed...

For those following, I installed the modified cumper supports and bumper assembly this weekend. The frontend still needs some adjusting, but I need to pull all the panels for paint anyhow so that can wait. Anyhow, here it is...save for the tri-colors, dented hood, and dirtiness....it looks damn nice IMO:

Default All this time I thought you were intalling a RS6 front bumper...

the only difference is the indentation for the euro plate, correct?

Default Where are the the openings for headlight washers?? What audi do you have....

What model do you have?
I wanted do buy this one as replacement for my torn bumper. I did not see any openings for headlight washer nozzles...

Also did all the grids in the lower bumper and the fog lights fit back in?

I wanted to do something similar with my 2000 Avant A6 quattro, but got scared away, since the seller could not guarantee the fit...

Please let me know details of your mods....

Will you paint it?

I follow your story like anyone who watches "24". Nice work. What about the headlight washers?
