HOW TO MAKE STOCK BUMPERS LOOK COOL
In this video I experimented a bit to see if I could make my stock audi bumper rival the looks of the cooler aftermarket ones out there. I think it was a huge success and it only cost me $50. If you are looking for a way to have aftermarket style on a budget this is what you are looking for.

I really understand why you have so many subscribers. I believe you inspire people to attack one off projects and make ideas from their imagination reality. I am budgeting to buy full aftermarket body kits, but watching this vid and all the work you did a mr2 really has inspired me to get a decent grasp on fiberglass fabrication and modding oem parts from the pull yard to make a unique kit.
8:30 Nobody will notice but I will notice and it will make me happy! That is a very powerful statement! I like it man.
Very cool. Your like a mad scientist with your little midget helper.
I love how your kid just plays around while you film lol It's adorable.
Awesome! Love diy stuff like this. It's amazing how much more aggressive it looks, even if the bumper does not actually extend lower than before.
I think my heart melted when the kid started talking
Great job, really cool idea. And what a great and adorable little helper! Also a great idea getting him used to wearing his safety gear at a young age!
You should change the top grille to the honeycomb style too
I'm learning so much about cars on this channel thank you for making such entertaining videos!
You're really inspiring man. Also the B5 is one of my favorite cars ever. such a timeless design.
"Probably no one will ever notice, but I will notice, and it will make me happy" That sums up why I do all this car stuff too :)
I LOVE how that bumper turned out. I just got a 2009 Hyundai Sonata & I was thinking of customizing it some in the spring (get my BUILT on), I'll have to save this video for when I do the front bumper. THANKS MAN!
The mini me was the best part of the video. Good job of spending quality time with your boy, an inspiration to the me generation.
Nice improvement on the bumper, I like the direction that you took it! You're gonna have to get up with your son's style, he's killin' it😎
Make your sons power wheel custom

you always have the best background music for your sped up montages. makes your vids so much more enjoyable to watch.
Best thing about this video is you spending time with your boy.. Awesome.
I think i've seen you before Wait - you're the guy who modded the MR2! You really are talented! Nice to See you at work, i really love your Skill
Good work. I modded the bumper on what then was a new 1989 Ford Escort here in the UK. Ford didn't offer fog lights so I fitted a combined fog/main beam that was semi recessed in the front nose cone , along with a universal splitter I made the bumper unique. Even now 20 cars on I am altering my new Tiguans bumper and improved that on my TT. Look forward to seeing it painted.
This channel is just what I need! Just love it!
Great channel man, love the content and i love the Audi build!! keep up the good work man! Audi for the win!!
Not an Audi fan but this info was so important to my ideas for a Lexus bumper, never considered cutting apart a junk pulled OEM set to make a personalized kit, really appreciate the vid 🔥🔥🔥
Found your channel today, found this video, super stoked to see how much there is to catch up on, I’ve been bored.
I dont know what's better: watching you work your magic on the car, or watching you spend quality time with your boy. He's cute! So, did that guy really go ride the oor boor door? ;-)
Your Director is the real boss little on the short side but definitely not afraid to boss you around 😍
Thumbs up for his little helper, Hes so damn cute
I know Ive said this before... but man I have to say you're doing a great job with that boy of yours... someday he'll look back at these and love you for this... It takes a good man to stand on his own. It takes a good man to show the love that children need without fearing that others around in view may feel him weak for it. Great work on the car... as always, but the best work youre doing is with your family. Much love and respect from Cincinnati!
Looks great! Can you post a link to the grill mesh that you used? Thanks!
Great job so far. Can't wait to see what you come up with for a lip/splitter.
LOVE THE DIRECTION OF THE BUILD! Can’t wait to see the final product. I just actually cut my grill out of my bumper to clear my intercooler on my civic. Could you provide the link to the honeycomb abs plastic you got. I was about to use a chicken wire style mesh to cover the hole. But this turned out soo good. Almost factory! Also love how much you incorporate your little boy into the videos. My goal for the new year is to start a build Channel for my civic and my wife’s civic. And get my little boy who just turned three. Involved in it. Haven’t been a follower for too long. But I’m not subscribed to the notification squad and just binge watched all your videos. Keep up the A1 videos.
There vids are just perfect for me as i have the same looking car and i'm building it to be better and nicer so these make me more inspired!
Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself this man is a genius the way he can make something stock look good
If you go onto eBay and search B5 A4 L Type Bumper Lip you could buy it for $105 and put it on the front of the car. it would probably look much better with the larger grill modification and help the bumper flow much better with the bodykit as it adds a bit of a flare to the lower portion of the front bumper.

Loving the consistent uploads on the A4
This is exactly the stuff I did with my kids this is such good parenting it’s unreal. Man I’m super impressed you don’t see this all the way anymore. It’s like there’s no fabricators either. I have a g35 And I bought a Plenum spacer and I was embarrassed because I could literally bomb made that myself
I did a similar project in my younger years. Excellent build but if I may suggest, to have the mesh plastic go around the bumper better without resistance , simply use a heat gun to somehow bend it to shape. Is that Corolla station wagon at the back? That is so cool!
Great job, I would recommend using the 3M panel bond and flexible bumper repair epoxy vs JB weld . It works great but it is pricey, $40-50 a tube and you also need the dual tube gun . Makes things so much easier.
I always wanted to experiment and modify my bumper just to see if I could get different look. might have to do it now!
Looks cool, and you're right it needs a something on the bottom, but in my opinion the Datsun on the back ground at the end it's the coolest...
Please keep building I absolutely love this channel!
Looks awesome man! Now to replace that upper grill on the Hood to match the lower grills. Keep up the good work, someone will be very lucky to have that car!
the redesign is a massive improvement but now the bottom looks too thin. I think adding a lip on the bottom will make it look alot more complete. Awesome work though!
Straight fire bro, keep up and never give up.
Good job 👌🏻 very interesting look with this bumper, definitely need an agressive splitter 😁💪🏻💪🏻
cool it looks awesome you give me an idea i vanted to buy an s4 bumper but everibody have it i vanted something else awesome job :D keep it going :D
It looks good, did you think about drilling some holes in the bumper between the front grill and the lower grills?
I love the fact that you went the custom route and saved some money.
I watched the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds. That was a quick transformation! 😂😂😂

@@BUILTOFFICIAL Few more years and he'll being crawling around inside the engine bay with you.
What is it that you look for when ordering the material you used for the grill? What is it called exactly?
Lol!! Love the little helper!! I've got 2 girls, who definitely don't help me in the garage
Where did you get the hexagonal grill material? Did you order online or did you go purchase it somewhere?
To me, it looks like it would fit a lip very well with the Silver Contrast of the Body. For cheap DIY, use Black Garden Trim and Pop-Rivets to create a custom splitter for cheap (Depending on the trimming you get.) Keep the Leftovers (There usually is a LOT) for new Projects.
Question so if I want to get a front bumper does it matter what car the bumper is made for? Or can I use any bumper but if it’s not made for the car it might take more work
When is the new flip video ? :)
Taping holes from the front to fill them in? That's actually really clever. Wish I'd thought of that.
That looks dope, a splitter for sure will give it that last little touch
How do you plan on plugging the lines to the headlamp washers? Don’t they engage with the windshield washers?
I've got an older Transit Connect van and I do love this little vehicle. One thing that I've noticed about the new model is how much more aggressive the nose looks. The hood is much higher and more square and the lower bumper does look more like this. I love this transformation and I'm really impressed by the difference, but I'm wondering if there's a way to raise the hood in the same way. Get that nose up. I'm thinking that a large air intake vent that's very wide might help with the illusion, but is there anything else that could work for that particular aspect?
Question the two slots on either side of front bumper what goes there cuz mine on both sides are connected with something and fluid goes in there somewhere somehow.Idk what it is tho?
add a lower front lip to sort of make the bottom part look sharper on the side...

Man how do you even come up with this stuff. You are so good at custom stuff. It's insane.
awwww hes so cute!! "whats that!" "its a bumper." "whats that?!" lol
Lol, your son is awesome! I bet he will be an awesome car guy when he gets older, just like his dad 😎👍🏻
good job man , it came out great
just a tip, you can use a soldering iron as a plastic welder. and use plastic strips cut from bottles or buckets as filler rod
Modifying stock bumper to be aggressive is always a step in the right direction! It’s perfect once you put the splitter on.

Dang bro that came out looking sharp. You should make the top grill out the same stuff. What's the name of this honeycomb stuff and where you got it? You got me all inspired and sheet!
Brilliant as allways! Ill have to instagram you my transit progress as its coming along nicely. Talk soon.
Looks good, the splitter will be a great touch though
If you mentioned it and I missed it, my bad, but where do you get the grille mesh material sheet? That's perfect!

Awesome. I'm going to do this to my 03 A6 3.0
I feel you need to put a lip on it to pull off that look, I dont feel how the botton part looks too slim, maybe because its not painted yet, but I really think a lip will help it look better 😎👍🏻
Your lad is the star of the show Looks really cool with his shades and hat
I love that corolla in the back round
I was very impressed, subscribed for more
im just watching this for your son :D he is the best!
Mandou muito bem. Parabéns!!!!
Looks like you have a great helper in the shop :)
Love the no bumper look!
Maybe a thick an short splitter like you said would be perfect to complete the look of the bumper👍
The multi saw make a much cleaner cut, about the width of a pencil line, try it I think you'll like it.
