Hi guys , I'm booked in for a stainless exhaust system next week and like the idea of a twin exit system but don't like the idea of cutting a hole in the bumper / diffuser part to accommodate it .
So my question is was there/ is there a bumper that came with built in twin exit slots that I can fit , are there any after market ones and if so where do I get them and also does the whole rear bumper need replacing or can you just get the plastic lower skirt/ diffuser part and change that with the original one ,
Cheers

I don't think these were available as standard. Even on D2 w12.

The best way to do it is to get another lower (unpainted) bumper, preferably used perhaps from A8 parts. Cut out the nicely shaped exhaust opening, cut a similarly shaped hole on the right hand side of one of the skirts, and plastic weld it on. Do some filling/finishing, take it to your local paint shop and get it painted the colour you want.

This is what I'm planning to do with mine as I have a dual exhaust.

Hofele in Germany do a passable rear bumper you could look at - see link HERE (http://www.hofele.com/sport_en/produkte/audi/audi_a8_d2/audi_a8_d2_karosserie.html) for more details.
