I pulled into a fast food joint to get me a $6 burger. I don't eat in my car so I park and go inside. After the burger I begin to back-up from my spot. After a few inches of backing up I hear this loud "clunk" noise. I get out and my bumper cover is 20% pulled off of both sides and the passenger side has a bend and crack in the plastic.

So, I'm looking at replacing the bumper cover and wonder what my options are. I searched here and couldn't find anything except a few comments about some kit, but no links or photos. Someone want to point me in right direction. I'm fine with the stock look, but could go more aggressive if it compliments the rest of the car.

Maybe I could post a shot of my car and one of you photoshop wizards could do some editing?

Extra details: My regular service dealer didn't reinstall the three belly pan screws after I took her in for a headlight washer issue. So the bumper cover was hanging an additional 2 inches lower than it should have been. it also didn't have any support allowing it to be pulled. I snagged an old metal steak which had a fish-hook shaped gash on its uppermost surface. This managed to dig into the lowest hanging part of the bumper cover and as I backed up, it dug in deeper until it reached the front lip of the bumper cover. Then it just pulled and finally cracked the bumper cover. So, my insurance and the dealer are working out who is paying what. Check my picposter for two shots of the snag spot and hang difference.

How about the oettinger kit?

Ottinger front bumper cover is exactly what I'm after! Where can I get one? Ottinger website = no go

I'm seeing these prices for a replacement bumper cover. Anyone have a better hook up?

Stock replacement: $449.06

Deval (says it fits A4/S4 B6): $569.99

Rieger "RS4" for B6: $689.00

Oettinger (only found one place selling): $1234.99

These prices do not include painting and install. How much does priming and painting cost for a bumper cover?

I'm leaning toward the Rieger. Anyone have experience with Rieger's product? The Deval is the most aggressive, but from what I've read here I suspect it doesn't fit the S4.

why not just look for pics of others' cars with it on? Might be easier. Young and dumb indeed.
