What bumper reinforcement is to be used with an A!Avantgarde front bumper?
 

Either of these work:

After taking my car apart to do the water pump/timing belt I found out that I have no bumper reinforcement installed!! Please let me know if any of you have any experience with this. TIA,

Jeff

they are both the same no difference between S4 and A4 bar

Well, thanks for informing me. Do you know about the A!Avantgarde bumper?

sorry i dont...but heres a tip
 

go look under the bumper, where the opening in the middle in and see if u see a bolt there, for the reinforcement bar that is where the bolt is supposed to go. And if i had to guess and this is only a guess it may be like the Rieger Rs4 bumper where the reinforcement bar is glued to the bumper. Apply glue to the large flat area onto the front of the bar and attach the bumper. Its not just normal glue but glue designed to body kit applications so once its on its on. How is the bumper being held on now?

Thats the scary part
 

It is being help on by the supports and a bolt going through them into the bumper and some clips on the fenders. Kind of scary, but it has been used like this for at least 20K miles. I just bought it a month ago and am going around fixing everything that was half-a**ed. Thanks for the tip. I am pretty sure it will be the glue thing because I don't remember seeing any holes for bolts.

good thing is the bumper already has holes for the reinforcemetn bar.

I have the authentic A! bumper, the REAL bumper comes with a reinforcement bar already..
 

otherwise you have the erebuni copy, good luck.

Only problem is I have the rear bumper that says A!Avantgarde on it. Doesn't make sense that the...
 

front bumper would be Erebuni I don't think. Can you tell me if there are any places on the bumper that it says A!Avantgarde so I can check? Can you also send me a picture of what the inside of the bumper looks like? Thanks,

Jeff
