Default She's back, with a face lift... RS4 Bumper...
Perhaps you recall <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2622198.phtml">this incident</a> which occurred about 3 months ago:

I had temporarily borrowed DAP's bumper to attend a HPDE at Road Atlanta:

And then when DAP's car when back together I borrowed Tony/EPL's bumper briefly:

And now I'm happy to have my car all back to a single color...

Oh, I also put on my summer wheels - time to kick back, relax, and cruise this summer... I think she's looking pretty good for 5.75 yrs old and 168,000 miles.

Default I added flat aluminum strapping attached with double stick tape to even out the bulge(s)
yeah, I'll see what I can do for you, though I haven't logged in a while...

Default Thank you sir! the first round i thought about doing that too, in fact i went and got
a L shape rod from HD, was going to install it hope it would even out, but at the end, body shop did the refit and it went away. oh and i had the body shop filled the washer cap hehe

Default Whos house has a skid pad in the front yard? Did you change to RS4 mirror housings too?
In most of the pics they look brushed and not polished...could be the lighting.

Oh, and try a bit of fill flash, it'll help the car pop from the background a bit. Great pics though. If she were human, I'd call her a MILF...

Default To smooth out the bulge(s)....
I attached aluminum strapping with 3M super double stick tape inside the bumper in the areas where there were bulges...
