RS4 Detango done it at last, its a PITA !!!
Well removed these:
and ended up with this:
Well worth the effort, however anyone going into doing this job is better off sending there lights to the site sponsor, its a mare!!
Removing the bumper is a case of "simply unbolt the / remove this" yeah right !! its not a nice job to do and you need some bespoke tools (8 inch star drive, your average quality socket set wont fit).
All in, I am pleased I done it, but an Evo 8 for example was a lot easier.

When Audi facelifted the B6 to the B7 they forgot all about ease of maintenance - e.g. removing the headlights on the B6 just mean loosening 2 bolts and the headlight just slid out, but on the B7 it's a bumper off job.boba fett wrote:All in, I am pleased I done it, but an Evo 8 for example was a lot easier.
