Default Who sells clear bumper reflectors

Need them for the front, badly! haha
The question I have though is on this particular car it seem they're bolted in from the back versus clipped like other A4s. Am I correct here?

Default If they are...

bolted in, it's gotta be due to placement at air flow vents. Clips probably don't cut it.

I'm wondering if I can order an A4 clear reflector and swap each plastic face...?

Default They essentially need to be destroyed to be removed...

Eddie-Man on the S4 forum has a good description.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b7/msgs/43284.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b7/msgs/43284.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I think I recall hearing they are different...

whether this is due to the way they mount or the actual lens, I can't remember. Someone on the B7 A4 board might know.

Default Someone described an alternative method.

All one has to do is remove the wheelwell liner and unclip the reflectors from behind apparently.

Default The ones on the RS4 are different.....

In fact, if you put your finger up through the front bumper slots, you can easily feel that the side markers are somehow bolted into place and not clipped or stuck on like other Audi models.

There are two huge bolts that attach from the back.
