Default Audiforumers, I need your help ......

As you guys may know I recently purchased an add on lower valance that is a copy of the European S4 only to find that it was 1" short on either side. Here is where I need your help, I need to find someone that has a stock B5 A4 lower rear valance they are not using. I only need the sides so if you could cut them off and send them to me I would appreciate it, especially if it's just one laying around. I would of course cover the shipping and a small fee for the bumper as I need it to extend my current bumper project and this will make the fabricating a lot easier. I have another forum member looking into getting me a euro A4 rear bumper but this would work as well so I am just covering all my bases. PM me or post on here and thanks in advance.

- Fred

Well here is a picture of the how short the bumper is .... I would probably just need about 4 to 5 inches of the center of each side so that way they can decide where to make the splice. The picture below is about 1" off from lining up with the edge and as you can see the splice has to be done in the middle so that the edges line up as they have the same flat contour.

I do like the bumper and I spoke with the seller and he refunded me 50% of my purchase price.
