    Where are you getting your bumper cover from? I couldn't find any under $1k when I was looking.

    Or is that the rear?

    Way to go

    At least you're all tuned up now I hope!

    Mike, I'm moving to the Albany/Troy area in September. Try and catch up with others for a Hudson Valley meet/drive this Fall/Spring.

    If you can stand it, wait around a while for a part out and maybe get lucky on the right color. Still, if you can get it for $850, not bad considering.

    Why not use a high grade commercial grade epoxy product that will work for bonding materials like the the plastic/rubber bumper skin and then sand and paint it. All the parts are there right?

    I found a supplier who has reconditioned bumper covers.

    It's 550 without paint, 180 to paint it. So ended up at 850.

    I am going to have the old one repaired, primed and then I will sell it.

    Tune? I am considering a trip to Troy/Albany to the APR tuner there. A8L or RS6, I have not decided which to tune.

    Who does APR there? I found a small Euro shop that looks quality, but will have to see if they can deal with the beast. I'd be tuning the RS6, just be careful of the trans. A8L is under warranty I would guess? Actually, tune both!!!

    I like the idea of repairing the cover. Make sure the paint is good. From a quality shop, and still a good deal, mine was $450 for the paint.

    EPL at 726 Woodend Rd, Stratford, CT 06615 might be closer for their tune.

    If I still had my RS6, APR was my first choice for the slushbox. If I still had my RS6, AMD here in Woodinville, WA would be my choice for the 6 speed.

    APR for sure on the A8. But it will void drivetrain warranty.

    APR is too much money for the RS6. I would take the RS6 to EPL as Ben has mentioned for the flash.

    Sell me your old bumper cover.

    Excellent, thank you sir!

    Get the Eurocharged tune, $500 and very good. You can also get the controller for a few hundred and make adjustments on your own.

    Only on RS6.com can that math add up... 550+180=850

    J/k I know you mean +120 shipping, just jerking your chain.

    I thought the $120 was just the RS6 tax... :audibash: <---- Edit, I wish the smiley face bashing the Audi logo with a hammer worked here like it does on the Euro forum, very useful
