Guys, I've located someone who has the exact same color hood as my car! Only issue it's a 1997 A4, don't know if it's 1.8T or 2.8 but I don't think this matters. Will it fit my 1999.5? I don't see why not?

As for the front bumper, if I want to keep the facelift look to my car I'll want to buy a '99.5 - '01 front bumper right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but pre 99 bumpers do not have spots for the fog lights or am I completely wrong? Also, because my car is a 2.8 would it matter if the front bumper came from 1.8T? I ask because of the intercooler. What are the differences between pre 99.5 bumpers and '99.5 - '01 bumpers? I found a website that seems only to show that the only difference are the spots for the fogs. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I think I answered my own question! I was looking through some google images of 1997 Audi A4's and saw that on every picture, the 97 hood has the sprayers on the top. On my '99.5 the sprayers are on the bottom of the hood. So new question, the bottom sprayer thing is probably one of the facelift features making my options for hoods in the '99.5 - '01 range, right?

 

i have a bumper cover with washer holes. the only problem is i live in connecticut. The bumper was for my 98 but i didnt use it bc i didn't know it didnt have the reinforcement before i bought it. It is NOT painted just primed black. Let me know if you are interested.

 

Yes I'm interested! Whereabouts in CT are you? I work about 10 mins. from Greenwich and 15 mins. from Stamford. Do you have the washer caps? Also, do you know how your '98 bumper is different from a '99.5+ bumper? Will it fit with the newer fenders and 1 piece headlights? Will I be able to install my fogs without much modification? Sorry bro, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Audi parts, I'm still learning! I learned this the hard way today when I bought a Jetta shift **** that comes attached to a boot which didn't fit my A4 :-(. Last but not least, how much do you want for it?

 

I have no clue if it will fit i'll do some research and get back to you. I don't think i have the washer caps i might have one. I'll give it up for $80. I live in Hebron 06248.

 

Hey man, why do you have to live so far from me? :-) Just kidding, but seriously we live about 120 miles from each other or 2 - 2 1/2 hours with some traffic. If you still have the box yours came in, would you be willing to ship it? I can pay you through Paypal if you want. Otherwise, can you send me pics of the front so I can compare to what I got, and you might see me this Saturday with cash on hand. :-) By the way, is this all you have? You wouldn't happen to have a radiator support and an A4 shift ****? Thanks.

 

Nope but i have another bumper with the support but no washer holes. Supposedly its for a non-quattro.

Its really expensive to ship so i'd have to charge you for that too but i'm pretty busy all week so i don't think i can be taking any 2 hour drives haha. Paypal would be good and its probably gonna be a little over $100 including shipping i'll get the final number this weekend along with pics and such.

 

Actually, if you could take pics at some time today and forward to my email "rcheing[AT]gmail[DOT]com" I can compare to my half of a 99.5 bumper I have (LOL!) and I'll take the 2 hour drive this Saturday. I'm in a rush to get these parts so I can get my car running asap. Thanks man.

 

done. Tried to take as many as i could. One thing i just noticed is this is the not primed one it is just black plastic, thought i'd let u kno.

 

Thanks but I still haven't gotten the pictures!!! :-D

 

sorry the email came back undeliverable because i sent too many i think haha. I'll try again.
