Does anyone have the euro S6 bumper part numbers?
I know they are available from companies like 2bettett for a considerable sum, but I'm exploring an alternative route. Obviously the bumper cover is needed, what are these other parts?
Does anyone have a list of parts needed and the part numbers?
Looks like clips for the body side, mounts, lower grilles and a license plate insert.

Skin = the bumper on a Euro. No big aluminum beam like our cars. The Euro "skin" is reinforced
with a lot of plastic X X X webbing and some metal. But the metal is no where near the size of our bumper support.

Not the ones we use here. There is a Euro FMIC DIY that I have posted before (inside)
It does mention "Had to remove a fair bit of it internally, including a chunk out of the alloy cross member within it and a hole in the bottom, but got there in the end"
So there is a bit of an alloy bumper bit but I know it's tiny compared to the N.American bumper reinforcement.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audifans.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1 5234&highlight=fmic">Linkt to the Euro bumper FMIC DIY (found through Google on Audifans.net)</a></li></ul>

You loose about 2.5" of clearance between the AC condensor and the bumper w/ Euro
Europe does not have 5mph bumper requirements like US and Canada. The Euro version is about 25# lighter than the NA version w/ the heavy aluminum beam.
The Euro version is purely decorative and can't really be called a "bumper" in the same way a NA version can.
