as i mentioned in a different post, my bumper has some imperfections. Rather than taking it into the body shop or buying a new bumper, how hard would it be to sand down the imperfections and use some automotive body/ bumper filler. platic epoxy? And then buy a can of spray paint from Audi? i dont want it to look like hand painted civic, but i am currently focusing my budget on performance :p

        You can by a used cover for about  $200.00.
I am told these things have " memory" so, depending on the damage they can be boiled in hot water to regain their shape
the remanufactures  do this.
At least that's what I'm told,                                        BENG

It'll be hard to match the paint unless you paint the entire bumper...touchups or spray paint will never look good unless you do the entire bumper. I am not if that's what you were planning to do?
