Default front bumper options

Hey guys, wondering if i could get some links for different front bumpers. The car went to the shop for oil pan damage from a rock on a country road...like i dont already have awesome luck with country roads! It cracked the lower lip as well. Insurance adjuster wants to do the whole nine yards on the front end with a new bumper cover, grille, etc. He estimated a body shop would charge 1100... anyone know of the rieger kits going for around that price INCLUDING the a8 grill needed. i love the look, and got the ok by the adjuster to take that route if i want. I have a buddy with a paint booth, so paint is covered, and mounting is covered as well. I think the cheapest i have found for both was 1250 or so including shipping. If there are cheaper alternatives im open to those as well, but id like to take advantage of this opportunity to do something different. esetuning has the grill for cheap, and the cheapest ive found the bumper for is 799. I cant really find that many other options for a full bumper cover kit.

SO, any and all possibilities welcome. I prefer full bumper, not just lip, as i cant do the lip myself. THANKS!!!

something similar happened to my car when the previous owner had it, he had it swapped out with a new OEM S-line i think, or maybe this is the 3.2? i dont know, but it looks great, looks new and still retains the OEM quality and look.... Its not just a stuck on bottom lip, it is the all in one with functional side vents

that looks nice, im guessing he picked it up from the dealer? i havent found to many good options. that rieger looks badass, but its too expensive. i may just let a body shop do the work and keep it stock. Im going to look into something like that as an alternative though, especially if its priced similar to stock. Thanks man!

It was sourced via the dealer yes, but it was no more expensive than the 'like for like' one they quoted for in the first place so it may be worth looking into it? i will try and dig out my quote and receipt for it

That is the S-line or 3.2 lower lip? I just got in a collision, and looking to enhance the front end if the car is fixable, which I think it is.

I have checked my receipts and it is coming in at $1345 for the replacement bumper OEM from Audi..... wow... could've gone to Ltek for that and got a big grill! haha..... ahh well at least the new owner footed the bill with his insurance company! ;o)

Personally i would go for the Ltek one if you have a color that would suit it... i don't think my color suits that style for some reason?!
