@Vaguh 3 жыл бұрын

The 3M wrap is holding up well and without issues. If you do/did the wrap I recommend cutting out the vinyl where the holes are in the crash beam since we had a buddy do this without cutting those out and now has punctures though those areas. Otherwise, there is another person who commented that you can look up the RS5 plastic crash beam cover and it is surprisingly only $70 from Audi. Unsure if fitment is the same, but sounds like it's worth a try.

The RS grill only has 2 round holes for the sensors but no clips or mechanical method to secure the sensors to the grille. Your video doesn't clearly show how these are secured.

Hi you just need to switch those park sensors "I " shape , to "L" shape ( located left bumper side) , then no need to cut bumper reinforcement ;)

@Vaguh 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yeah, I figured that out during the install, but kinda needed to finish it up that night. So I just cut. I think I mentioned that as an option, but I should post a link to some of those in the description.

Hey! how can I do the swap exactly?? will the cables be long enough?

@alexcrocker7111 2 жыл бұрын

Could you elaborate more on this? I really want to do this swap, but don’t want to cut in the crash beam

@mattp9932 4 ай бұрын

Could you explain this more? Are you saying you can buy new L shaped park sensors ?

It took them more than half the video to figure out that they should probably put the bumper on something besides concrete 😂😂😂😂😂

It took half the video to get the damn bumper off! LOL. Look closely and you can see we set it on a white towel that blends with the concrete. Thanks for the support!

Can't believe you didn't spray the intercooler black. If you ask me that stands out from a mile away.

@jeremyedalgo9116 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback. The crash bar wasn't removed at all during this process. You're asking why I didn't change the color of the intercooler to black as well, correct? Mainly because I didn't want to take it off and have it powder coated or paint it. Also, putting a coating on the intercooler to change it to black, would reduce it's effectiveness and go against why I installed it in the first place. I don't mind that it is visible.
