Oh, it's the Oettinger replica lip. It's not too bad but not my taste. It would look better when the car is slammed but I think you'll be happier with a stock one.



How it looks like painted. Not too shabby.

Yeah whoever owned it before me had put it on, I just don't think it looks good, especially from a side view, even slammed it would just look disproportionate from the rest of the car ya know?

Anyways hopefully the one from ECS bolts right on, I'm not positive how many extra holes the guy drilled into my bumper to get this lip on, hopefully all the factory screw holes are still under there

Pick up some clear side markers to replace the orange $15 on eBay

Honestly, I don't think the one on B5_Audi is that ugly. It actually looks decent, especially when the car is slammed.

OEM valance won't need screws, really. They just fit right in and they fit snug into the bumper. You'll probably want to put screws on each side just to be safe but it isn't necessary. And all the OEM front valance will fit any year.

I love your front end, what headlights are those? Look like halo's but I can't tell if that's just a light reflection. Also, what grille?

Okay ECS front valence looks like it'll be the one, so clean :P

Your front end looks 10x better than it did which is a huge achievement IMO. that's the goal with mine
