I noticed, on my 2014, that the plastic valance piece that sits right above the exhaust tips seems to poke out a bit right above the right tip - I'm talking about the gray piece that sorta integrates into the bumper.

My left side is all nice and tucked but the right side seems to poke out just by a millimeter or two.

Heat related? Shoddy plastic? Anyone wants pix cuz they've no idea what I'm talking about?

So..... I guess no one else has this issue?

I know what you're talking about but checked and mine is fine. 24k miles and used in the desert sun. Perhaps just a bad piece of plastic on yours.

I do not have any issue with that piece, but maybe a photo/pic would help in giving you some advice or thoughts.
What trim level is it? (S-LIne, Prestige - something that might mean a different piece than is on my 2013 P+)

Posting some pics will help.
I don't have this issue anyways.

I have a '14 Prestige S-Line.

Pix of the 'trouble' spot; you can see the warping/separation within the oval:



Here's the other side for comparison:

The valance is held onto the bumper cover with plastic tabs. Try pushing in on the trouble area to reseat the tabs. Perhaps you can see where they are located from below.

Here is a link to a eBay auction to use for reference.

I've tried pushing on it with quite a bit of forced but it always ends up poking out. Looked under the car and didn't notice any broken tab - but then again, I also didn't look that closely. Will take a peek shortly.

Take a look at this thread -> Official Release - DEVAL Audi S6 C7 Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser

Several people have remove their stock valance to install the carbon fiber Deval valance. Post #31 mentions using trim tools to remove it. You might have to loosen the passenger side to see if there is any inference from debris.

I thought that the 14 Prestige came with a honeycomb rear valance, is yours?

Also, you say that yours is S Line? The US only has 3 trim levels: Premium, Premium + and Prestige.
