Default Orange reflector in front bumper......

Anyone know if this is the same size and geometric location as on the A4/S4. If so, MadAudiDesign.com sells a body colored piece that switches out in 5 min. A little easier and cheaper than switching out the whole bumper!!!

Well, the Bumper is different, so that may affect the reflector...whether it's identical or not.

I would paint them if you can't swap them out.

That's what most B7 owners who want to have done, right?

Default I know the bumper is different,but.....

The bumper side vents are also smaller on the US spec bumper to accomodate the reflectors. It *seems* logical that Audi would make the bumper simply to accomodate a spec piece rather design a whole different piece for such a trivial part. They do look similar thoughout the 4 series. The advantage over painting the existing reflectors is that it gives a flush, more finished appearance.

Default I agree...

it was just one of those things where it COULD be different, you never know.

The insert instead of the reflector...I would imagine that's true...but, those have to be painted too. Either by them or you.

EddieMan on the S4 forum has these painted on his car and they look good.

Are those part #'s for the reflectors, or for a solid replacement piece? I wouldn't figure Audi would have a part out to fill in for where reflector belongs.
