Default NEED HELP a4 b5

Hi Guys any1 knows a place that sells and installs front bumper for a4 b5
96model. The cheaper the better


and i got another question. havent used my car for a while so the bettery went flat. now we tried to jump start it but it did nothing. so we tried to kick start it and it worked. left the car running for a while so the battery can recharge. but i noticed that it idles pretty high. around 1500-2000 mark.
at first i thought its normal as i havent used the car for ages. but after
20mins and it stayed at that revs im just dumbfounded. hope someone can help me.. THanks

you should put more information if you want people to respond.... Location would be a good start if you want to know of local places that do bumpers, and a better description of the car would be helpfull...... a4 b5 96model.... what else?

good luck

You can try this website and check your local junk yards
http://www.mypartshop.com/default.aspx
Or you can try these spots that i Know of around my me:
1) Partschannel
1745 Bathgate Avenue
Bronx, NY 10457-7542
(718) 294-3131
2)Eagle Parts
656 East 133rd Street
Bronx, NY 10454-4605

I bought a hood from #1 and they were cheaper than #2

How long is a while???? it could be a variety of sensors that dictate the idle
speed. tps, oil temp sensor, ait sensor, maf sensor......

You shouldn't kick start these cars either. Very very bad.

Battery's probably dead or terminals are loose. Bring it to Autozone or Advance and have them test it if your terminals are already tight.
