Default I got a box. Now I just need to find a 3.2 bumper cheap.

Parts have begun arriving for the <a href="http://maxhedrm.montebellopark.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/05/poor-puppy">4th or July incident</a>. I got my fenders ordered last week &amp; they arrived today, so I can take the car in Monday, hopefully. I would really like to find a cheap 3.2 bumper first though. :^( Don't see that happening.

I have to say, TTStuff dba OSIRUSA did a pretty crap job on retaping the box.

Too bad my car isn't Aviator, I'd save a fortune on paint.

Default looks like the box came from China...

Probably cheaper to make the aftermarket parts out there since there's so many Audi's in the China market...but not so many TTs. At least that's my observation when I was living in Shanghai last year for 8 months. Kenni (kTTang) did spot quite a few when he was there the past month and a half.

Default There's not a lot left of my stock bumper to attach the Votex to.

That &amp; to be honest I've always thought it looked too tacked on ... not into the underbite look.

Update the list on the fit of the fenders if you please. I really like the look.

Default sweet! will the other panels need blending in or will you just paint the fender?

I hope the part is not made of fiberglass. I've been told that it makes a difference when it comes to paint.
