I live in NYC and it is a pain to stay bumper dent free. I think the Audi is the most unprotected (front) in this regard - front bumper and grill are the same piece and bumper is not extended enough. Plus the extended part is so narrow that you cannot attach usual guards. Can anyone advise (don't want to have it painted on lease return)?

it's going to happen sooner or later.

where the lower body silver meets the-Lava gray I have an area about 3/8" in by 4" black area. Took the paint right off - I could park 2 miles away and someone would run into it. -

That's life when you use a vehicle everyday. No, matter how you park or where you park, sooner or later this type of stuff happens.

So, all of you are saying that you don't use anything because there is no way to do it?
interesting that I found on AUDI website in accessories section some protection strips, but
from what I see they would NOT protect you at all
- they are more a style.

into it...

on another note - my wife sees idiots at the grocery store that are too lazy to return the cart, so they just walk it towards an empty spot (or someone elses car), and then just lets it go...

of course, there's usually other cars around...

unbelievable.
