Default A4 + Snowbank = D'oh!

Hey guys,

So I lent my car to my little brother so he could go snowboarding with his friend...bad idea lol. They were getting off the highway and hit some "ice" and slid off the road into a snowbank. Neither of them were hurt and the damage is minimal so it's not so bad. Just goes to show you even with good snow tires and quattro we are not immune from winter accidents, be careful out there everyone!

Here are some pics:











The left fog right is completely missing, my guess still in the snowbank, wish my bro had looked for it. Other than that the center grille and lower valence just need to be clipped back in the right place. There is a small amount of damage to the bumper near the left fog light but I can fix that. Just going to need a new left foglight assembly and the grilles that fill both fog light areas.

I'm gonna look around, can probably get the stuff from a part-out pretty cheap.

Merry Christmas everyone and drive safe!

Tell him that snowboarding is meant to be done with a snowboard, not an Audi.

Heh yeah I was thinking that if the bumper itself was damaged I would just get an s4 bumper, the damage is minimal though and I can probably find these parts pretty cheap. The problem is finding a post-facelift part out -_-
