Most bumpers are shipped folded unless you pay $$$ for unfolded. I got a painted folded bumper from MBI and it turned out great, 100% satisifed. Its below zero here, so I let it unfold overnight in a heated room. Local body shops wanted 2.5 times the price I paid just to paint a bumper I bring in. This is a great cost savings option.

Yeah I was a bit nervous at first, but 2 days in the california summer sun and it unfolded great! Overall fitment was almost perfect in the end, but there are many others who didn't have fitment issues like I did.

@@HazardGarageahh ok good to know. I ordered a bumper from them just now and it doesn’t match at all so I’m hoping they’ll take it back without hassle. The quality is fine it’s just 3-4 shades darker on my order car unfortunately.

I just bought a front bumper for my A5 folded as well. I'm skeptical but this relieves me a bit lol

yeah the unfolding part was very interesting. Its best to do it in the summer or spring when you get long hot sun hours. And dont be afraid of letting it unfold over 2 days. I tried using a heat gun (as they suggested as an alternative) and it wasnt happening. I left it in the sun again and it finished it out perfectly. Now fitment on the car wasnt as 100, but the company was willing to work with me to make it right.

How did you manage to fit the remaining gap. I’m unfortunately having the same problem! :/

@HazardGarage 11 ай бұрын

What helped me was making sure all the tabs were lined up under the headlight and making sure it was as pushed in as possible (under the headlight). Then I sort of "stretched" the bumper (where it meets the fender) as much as I could over the bracket (you can also sort of manipulate the bracket as well). Since it's all plastic, there is some flex to make it fit. It makes me nervous a bit because of the tension but everything has been holding so far! Let me know how it goes!

@@HazardGarage I'll bet after some nice warm sunny days parked outside, it will expand to fit properly. After all, it's a long run of plastic, so there should be some give.

@@Enigma758 That would be lovely the next time I take it off and put it on, that it will be easier and fitted better. But I hope I do not have to test that theory anytime soon. lol

@@HazardGarage I guess I was hoping it would just occur "in place". I recently ordered a bumper cover and they folded one end. The included instructions said to leave it out in the sun on a warm day, or use a heat gun. The weather didn't allow for the first option, so I used a heat gun which worked fairly well. I mention this because the plastic does become a bit more pliable when warm.
