Anyway to shorten bumper supports/shocks?...
Hey guys/gals, I'm venturing over from the C5 forum in search for a solution to pull the bumper support on my A6 in about 1.5 inches. I bought an aftermarket replacement bumper cover and, lo and behold, it's a european style (pug-nosed with euro plate indent)....

...cool for me, but now I need to get it fitted. Any way to modify the bumper shocks while retaining the 5mph feature?
LLTek sells 'Euro Modified OEM Impact Bar Supports' which I am strongly considering, but I need to verify thier change in length from the US ones...unless anyone here can knows?
Any input/suggestions are welcome! TIA.

True, I think cutting the vertical ends off could possibly breach the pressurized chamber.
If I can find an old one lying around the shop, I could sacrifice it to find out.
