Default Bumper alignment

The front bumper on my 99.5 a4 is sagging on either side under the headlights. Ive tried to pop it into the grooves but i just cant get it. Is there an easy way to do this? also the trim that goes alone the bottom side of the bumper is all beat up. Where can i buy a replacement? thanks guys

the trim at the bottom, is it black? if it is, that's ur lip spoiler. jsut take it off and sand it down with some fine sand paper i think 320 might work and then go over with 1000. my bumper was sort of sagging a little bit too. i just sorta slammed it on lol. just hope that the grooves don't break lol.

its not just the lip spoiler, its the part that goes under the car thats more beat up, it warped relly bad and hanging kinda low

o u mean the sound dampening pan? the big black thing that covers the oil pan and all that stuff under the car? well my car is missing one and i went to the dealer ship. the said 200 bux so i said that's how much i paid my prostitute last night. don't wry bout that part. it doesn't really do much, plus ur engine is a little bit cooler without it. just make sure it's not hanging down really low because it might get caught on something and cause other damage.

ya that part i just sorta hit it and it went in lol ghetto style. i think your really supposed to match up the grooves and then pull. like u stand in front of the car facing it. then place the bumper past where it's supposed to be and have it protrude towards the wheel. then u pull. im pretty sure that's how u do it but that's with the bumper completely off. but i would just hit it with ur fist and it'll work too
