Default So frustrated arrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggg

So I spent about 3 months looking for a new headlight washer cap after my accident and I finally found one. Put it on it was locked in place. Went to the car wash and it popped off. Dumbest design ever for headlight washers. Anyone know any bumpers that don't have those stupid caps?

I believe euro a4 bumpers don't. I'd ask what kind of condition you're bumper is in cause you could just fiberglass the spots for them and repaint but since you just got in an accident I'm guessing its in decent shape. Still cheaper than shipping over a euro bumper though

The RS4-style bumper I have doesn't have slots for headlight washers, and I deleted the entire headlight washer system from my car (also had a leaky headlight washer reservoir).

screw paying $40 dollars for a new one and then 50 to repaint it, I'd rather just steal one. But imma go with the fiberglass idea

i think they are only like 40 painted at the dealer? who pays 50 to have that painted, no wonder you don't want another one. I just got my whole trunk painted for 50 bucks

Really? No the reason it's 50 is because boy shops have to mix the paint and they don't want to bother for such a small part.

I've gone through three so far, I just gave up and stopped replacing them. I eventually want to shave them off the bumper and have it re-sprayed but I don't have the time or a place to do body work like that. Put a band-aide sticker over the hole lol

As tempting as that is, I'm trying to go for a clean look haha. Only sticker on my car says DOPE.
