    Near Hamburg, on the A1, at 3am a kamikaze German badger met the front spoiler of my A6 at 167km/h...

    So, there is now one less German badger in the world, but it all came at a cost...

    Lower part of the front spolier is cracked, left fog light cover is gone and at least 2 undertray plastic trims are broken...
    I had to unscrew what was left of them at the side of the road to be able to continue driving.

    I am now trying to decide on whether to claim on the insurance or buy the trims myself and get the spoiler repaired...
    Some years ago I bought some plastic undertray trims for my A4 (B8) and they were not as expensive as I thought, but that might be different now on my A6 Avant C7 (S Line) facelift (2015)

    To determine what trims I need... would anyone be able to help with a "blow out" schematic drawing/picture of the front spoiler showing part# for a A6 Avant facelift S Line C7 ?

    Something similar to the one attached?

    Many thanks in advance

    RIP German badger

    Thanks for replying morski, MT65ANX is my badger mobil...

    I can take some pics of the front spoiler if needed... as I do know that just replacing the undertray trims/covers is not always enough, there might be some plastic skeletton bits behind the covers that the covers screw into or that support the trims. These skeletton bits might need replacing too but I just cant quite get a clear idea of all the parts involved... I'm hoping that a blow out drawing or schematic will clarify things

    Hi morski,

    sorry for the late reply... I think I have now identified all the parts that I would need, if you could possibly help with the part #s please?

    so...

    from jpg1 I'd need part:

    42
    30
    36
    12
    and 11 (I think, if it is what I think it is from the picture...)

    then from jpg2 I'd need part:

    30 (I think it says 30 at least... zooming in looses some resolution)

    Many thanks in advance morski

    Wow... indeed... ! thanks for the prices too... saves me a phonecall to VW parts group in Guildford...

    Well... looks like this will have to be claimed on the insurance... as even after all these trims are replaced, I still have a crack in the front bumper that will cost around £150 to repair and paint... the germans should consider introducing "national badger hunting"

    Thanks again!
