Default Hofele Front Bumper upgrade completed

My car is a 2013 A8L 3.0T. I have the grills for fog lights in, but they also have a full mesh grill.
The bumper is very high quality (per the body shop). It still requires some work to make it fit 100% perfect. The body shop also added in a fading body line from the fender down into the bumper in the corners.
Very happy with the look :-)

Very nice... and a pretty penny too I bet.

Can you take a side profile to show how much lower the front is compared to the factory side skirts

Looks awesome

Love that front end! I'd like to install it on mine. How was the cost painted and installed if I could ask?

Very nice...

I like the ABT one as well - not as aggressive.

That looks like a W12 bumper with an ABT badge slapped on it.

The front bumper is just about the same height as the factory side skirts. I didn't add any side skirts. I will take a side profile shot.
I have full LED headlights so there were no fog lights originally and i do not have ACC. But i believe it can be used for either.
As for cost you are looking at the bumper plus about another bumper cost in labor/paint. I am sure the cost will vary depending on the quality of the shop chosen.
