Default Bumper alignment

The front bumper on my 99.5 a4 is sagging on either side under the headlights. Ive tried to pop it into the grooves but i just cant get it. Is there an easy way to do this? also the trim that goes alone the bottom side of the bumper is all beat up. Where can i buy a replacement? thanks guys

the trim at the bottom, is it black? if it is, that's ur lip spoiler. jsut take it off and sand it down with some fine sand paper i think 320 might work and then go over with 1000. my bumper was sort of sagging a little bit too. i just sorta slammed it on lol. just hope that the grooves don't break lol.

o u mean the sound dampening pan? the big black thing that covers the oil pan and all that stuff under the car? well my car is missing one and i went to the dealer ship. the said 200 bux so i said that's how much i paid my prostitute last night. don't wry bout that part. it doesn't really do much, plus ur engine is a little bit cooler without it. just make sure it's not hanging down really low because it might get caught on something and cause other damage.

ya that part i just sorta hit it and it went in lol ghetto style. i think your really supposed to match up the grooves and then pull. like u stand in front of the car facing it. then place the bumper past where it's supposed to be and have it protrude towards the wheel. then u pull. im pretty sure that's how u do it but that's with the bumper completely off. but i would just hit it with ur fist and it'll work too
