Looking at an A4... Opinion on damage?

[ToXicXxX]

Looking at a low millage 2009 A4 3.2FSI, and it's in great shape, dealer maintained (and just serviced), old lady driven. The only issue is the front bumper has been impacted a bit (see pic). Does anyone know if it's fixable or coverup-able? I wouldn't mind a CF lip on it. Other then that theres a few tiny scuffs here and there, but nothing major.



The other stuff on the side is the 3M coming up a bit, no big deal to me.

I had a 2006 3.2 A4...worst carbon issues with an audi engine ever...way worse then the rs4, if it's the same engine in the 2009 I would do some research first.

I already know the plight of direct injection (the 335i is direct injection). It can he solved with some carb cleaner, a nylon brush and the instalation of a catch can.

Just trying to give you a heads up since I actually owned one for 11 months and it was fing brutal. I had no idea the bmw 335 and audi a4 3.2 shared the exact same engine...

That is because they don't.... haha

Tocixxix, while I may be biased towards Audi, you cant go wrong with a quattro for a winter driver.

They don't, though they both use direct fuel injection, and therefore suffer from carbon buildup.

Well,

got a 2009 A4 2.0TQM today. Absolutely in love with it. Not 30km after leaving the dealer I went to Calgary Autoworks and had Revo stage 1 flashed to it.
