Hit a Deer
 
I hit a deer the other night. Luckily not much damage. I had to pop my driver side bumper back on, the hood at the driver side corner got bent a bit so it was touching the fender but I popped that back with a mallet, I have a cracked driver side turn signal, I only have to replace that. not headlight damage BUT some how the dear managed to knock my headlamp cleaner cover off. it looks like it broke the peice that holde is on. the cover from what i can tell looks like it is good. I tried pulling it out to check the damage but I also cant get it to go back in. there is no windshield washer fluid in the car at all at the moment.

the nozzle is broken, there should be 2 sprayers. So your headlight washer cap isn't going to stay on.
Who sprayed the bumper without taking the cap off? looks horrible.

I bought i from a guy who buys damaged cars and re-sells them. no salvage title, and everything looks good on it but yea, what a dick move.

Does anyone know what part I need to replace for this and how I might be able to push this back in?

IMHO if you don't use them, remove them. plug the lines with a bolt fill the hole and respray. Or just glue the cap over top. But yea F the last owner who just spray paints a bumper like that. It takes 5 minutes to remove those caps to paint it right.

I've been thinking of doing a RS4 bumper but not sure if i want to do OEM and pay 1000+. that would get me new headlamp washers, fogs, and lower grilles off of ECS or go the replica route but haven't looked into weather those come with the lower grills and fogs.

I would say an S4 bumper b4 an rs4 that's just me. I like the clean look without the washer caps that's why I recommended just removing them. I think they are pointless and don't really clean much off your lights other than to spray the crap all over your hood.

I agree, I don't care for the washers much, They never worked for me, I'ed also like the clean look of no covers. d you know if the s4 fogs are different than the a4's?

phatjames167 Feb 25, 2013 02:53 PM

overpost.

chocalotstarfish Feb 25, 2013 04:26 PM

Yes they are slightly different. A4 are more of a circle and S4 are kind of ovalish.

A4
Audi B5 A4 Quattro 1.8T > Lighting > Fog Lights > ES#432894 Fog Light Assembly - Left - 8D0941699D
S4
Audi B5 S4 2.7T > Lighting > Fog Lights > ES#3293 Fog Light Assembly - Left Side - 8D0941699C

I'm sure they could be had cheaper just linking those for pics.

so this talk of bumpers and fogs got to lookin around. I checked out this site and like the looks, don't have to do any modification from what i can tell, but I'm not sure what the difference between the v1 and the v2 bumpers are, also not sure which fogs go in them? a4 or s4? anyone know?
