Default looks good...

I always was on the fence about that "extra" line in the fog light area...I thought it would look much cleaner without it...I was actually thinking of cutting it out and doing a bit of bodywork to smooth out the left over nubs...at least until I found the custom bumper I wanted.

Did you leave the bumper on and mask?

Default Same as the S-line bumper

At least on all of the ones I've seen. The grill &amp; housing around the foglight is flat black. I guess on the regular A4 front bumper, the foglight housings are all color-matched.

Default AWESOME! That is exactly what needed to be done!

I have been trying to figure a way to do this too. Having it painted black was my idea, but on certain angles, you'd see where the slat cuts into the sides of the paint. Not sure how it would look. But seeing it above, it works. This is a cheap easy upgrade to a sportier S4 or S-Line look. Nice thinking.
