Well, not so much "damaged" as ripped off.
It happened just over a week ago when the Audi drove me, the misses and four mates to the airport at 4am to go skiing in France for a week. The trip to the airport was in freezing temperatures and thick snow.
When I pulled up at the airport to unload (before heading off to park the car) I noticed the passanger side headlight washer was stuck in its up postion. I pressumed as I was washing the window it had frozen in that postion when driving along, something I swore at and thought I would leave until I got back. But as I ran round the car to go park up, my baggy trousses caught it and ripped it clean off >_<
I will give A8 parts a call tomorrow to try and order a new black headlight jet for the 99 8 but I have had a look and I cant see how it could be replaced without removing the bumper.... can it be done or is it a bumper off job? How easy is the repair for someone with almost 0 skills?!
I will take pictures it tonight. At the moment I am gutted. I really hate the look of the gapping hole in the bumper!
On a good note my mates were amazed at how well the A8 coped with the snow, they were terriffied that we wouldnt make it to the airport.
