Default Pull off front grills, unscrew 2 hex bolts, unscrew 4?? screws in fender well, push bumper in plus..

pulling up and out at the fender wells, and cap headlight washer nozzle. Or at least that is how I recall doing mine.

Default APR's Site has good instructions for bumper removal...

their instructions are for a snub mount install, but follow steps 2-9 and you get your bumper off.

Good Luck<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/snub_mount.pdf">APR snub mount install</a></li></ul>

What are you taking off that's not stock once the bumper is off?

Hold up, you forgot something. Get a 250 lb. chick in the passenger seat before backing up.

Default time out... let's do this the easy way...

pull lower grills out, unscrew 2 support screws, remove any screws in fender wells, and HERES THE IMPORTANT PART: remove the headlights and pry at the side brackets with a very long flathead screwdriver through the gap behind the headlights. this is a lot easier than tugging on the bumper or poking at the brackets blindly from the fender wells. with the headlights out, attacking from the front, you can see exactly what you're doing.
