Cheap Front End Transformation on my Audi A4

In this video I go over a few cheap visual enhancements on my Audi A4 that make a big impression overall.
I started by blacking out the grill and then splitting the headlights open with a heat gun. This allowed me to tint the inside and replace the orange indicators with clear ones. Finally I refitted the front bumper properly and fitted a splitter from a Seat Leon Cupra.

    Awesome job Luke! Love tastefully done mods like this done well. It’s easy to screw something up by rushing the work or in the case of the headlights, muscling them apart as soon as the glue starts to soften. Really changed the look and the Cupra R lip is one of the best lips for so many VW/Audi models.

    The car looks good, much cleaner and aligned. As for the splitter I like it...though my car's black so hard to notice...so much so I don't even know if I have one or not lol. Headlights....that's a lot of work just for an indicator bulb...I'd never get that light to seal again and then that would drive me crazy...I wonder if it's possible to get an A4 B7 strip led headlight like the newer models 🤔 Great video thank you 👍👍👍

    I did a similar thing with Mondeo MK3 lights. If you don't have an air gun, then put them in the oven (I did 120c for 10 mins) and that will loosed the glue nicely. Ref sagging bumper: I suspect in your case this has to do with the twisted and dented front crash beam which likely claimed the original bumper on your car? It's (the bumper) clearly a different colour silver from the rest of the car and I suspect was a cosmetic repair rather than bolting on a new crash bar/bumper support? Great video with clear explanation 👍👍

    At first I thought the same. But look closely that "dent" is evenly spread at the top and bottom (if that makes any sense). To be sure he could use this device to measure the paint of the car.
