2016 Audi A8L TDI with only 39,200 miles and has executive, luxury, & driver assistant packages. Wish it had rear comfort package, but it was not a must-have for me.
My family had a number of Audi's so I am familiar with them but this is the first Audi of my own.
No cause for alarm. Working on the front badges to update with gloss black for eventual chrome delete for the rest of the car. While some will say you can go at it just by prying them off, I felt more comfortable going at it from behind the bumper cover and avoiding marring up the plastics of the grill. Besides, was always curious as to the amount of work needed to remove the bumper. Was able to do most of it solo except for re-installing where I had my wife help with lining things up. Also a good chance to clean up the leaves and other gunk accumulating on the various radiator's and oil coolers.

Got you. I do think it is easier to do it this way then prying it off and potentially breaking tabs so I agree. How much of a work did it take to get that bumper off?
Also, I am looking to black out my grille but it has sensors and cameras (I believe for ACC & 360* parking). What is the best way to go about it? Tape it off and wrap it in black or plasti dip or buy a black grille with these sensors/camera already installed?
