    Hi, been tarting up a 95 Audi 80 Sport over the last year, given her a full respray, alloys, lights etc. Wanted a cheap alternative to the RS2 bumper route and chose the late cabriolet one... Managed to get a second hand one on ebay last week with grilles but unfortunately did not come with the fogs/indicators. They are I believe the same as RS2 type and although the indicators are fairly cheap to buy OEM (£27 +VAT each) the fogs are not, coming in at £109 +VAT... D'oh!

    As of yet been unable to find any second hand ones and was wondering if there was any cheaper alternatives on the market?

    I hoped there might have been a blank you could buy, but the nearest I could find were these, again not cheap...

    Other than that I will have to fabricate a blank myself...

    Here's a picture of her any whoo with the first fitting of the cab bumper...





    Got the painted door mouldings on today and repositioned the headlights again so they no longer rest on the trims...

    Blanks are done and dusted, just need some tidying up with a bit of filler here and there, primed and painted then will make some moulds and redo for perfect fit…

    They're in one piece and will only need a single fixing when finished…





    As you can see they are moulded directly from the bumper so they are nice and snug…









    The edge will need to be shaped to a curve to match the bumper, haven’t decided yet wether to leave them blank or to have some recessed day light, single spot, single spot with air inlet or just air inlet, nearly one for all seasons…



    Will eventually get them painted same as bumper, though did think of doing them with Chrome Effect Paint for some bling… (No only kidding…)
