K, so I tried to buy the blank front filler when I bought my car this exact day 1 year ago. Sorry to say that the salesman was a jackass, and along with a few other things that should have been done, the filler plate was left off the table.

So I ordered the front bumper filler from the same dealership on 12/18. I got it today! I do have to give props to the parts and service side of Livermore Audi. Their sales staff might suck rotten eggs, but the other 2/3rds of the dealership have done right by me so far.

So I get filler installed in two seconds. I'm not sure I'm hip to the two chrome strips tho. So I break out the electrical tape and cover the strips over. In my well lighted garage, it's a perfect match to the gray/black plastic. I'll see how it looks in the sunlight tomorrow when I wash the car.

Totally temporary cover of the chrome that's completely reversable. I like the totally blacked out look, and it was cheaper than dirt.

And props to Livermore Audi parts department. :)

Turned out Ok- though the paint is a bit soft for the front of a car. so i sanded it down again and looking to get a tougher paint

What's your next idea? 0

did not need to do anyhing with the two strips cause they were already blacked out.

Im going to go to an autobody paint supply shop and see if they have anything that will not chip.

Just not a fan of the chrome. - however i do not like the body colored pannels either.

oh well

That's bogus, you shouldn't have had to buy one. I just told the salesman to switch out the front place with a filler plate and he did it no problem, no extra cost.
