The repair is complete. Here are the before and after shots. Wasn't that bad, but still $2800.

I had an SLine with a color matched valance and liked it. So I asked if they could spray it to match and they said no problem.

First painted valence I've see on a b8 S4.
I prefer the contrast of the valence...
did they paint the blade too?

Nice...but you didn't pay for it did you? Someone rear ended my Q5 when it was new...there fault so there insurance had to pay.

I like it but would have preferred the blade to be painted silver as OEM.

I too like the contrast look myself, and it seems to me your going to be spending lots of time cleaning it now, being so close to the exhaust.

I did the same thing, I don't understand why it didn't come like this from the factory.

Looks good, but I too, would have left the blade silver.

I had mine painted black; will have to try to remember to take a pic & post it.
