I believe I might have a couple of those brackets in my garage should you need them :-)

Thats great thanks! I should know more either this week or next.

Right well, hoping to have a v6 bumper soon. I've got one coming from a forum member who has also got the needed brackets. The only thing that appears different are the side brackets where the wings grip the bumper. The bracket is riveted on on my bumper but when looking at etka, the coupe/cab don't have this bracket at all.

I'll put up a couple of pics... could someone tell me what the spare electrical connections may be for, they were tucked up behind the two lower front outer grills?

Those electrical connections..

showing the bracket for the two bolt bracket...haha

And the bumper outer brackets holding it tight to the wing...

Plugs look like foglight.

2 bolt bracket just comes off and the v6 ones go on.

The ends of the bumper are bolted to rivnuts in the wing.

Thanks Andy, going to have to read that a few times, it's confusing my small brain! haha.

Trying to work out how they work? wheres the bolt? and why the nut? Had a look on youtube, thats helped! Off to check the hole in my wings!

edit.... perhaps the photo is showing four of the same thing!!!! haha, still need the bolts (and washer?) though?

Just had a quick look at mine and i can see the top is a hex hole, can't see further down. How many do i need? 4? Need to check the bumper i'm getting to see if it has the holes on it. Edit... had a look at the bumer and from what i can see it has the hole at the top, but can't really make out any more holes, possible one further down?

Just adding to this thread...

Being miles away from Audi or tps, would these be ok...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2912435417...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I'm pretty sure I've got m6 bolts and washers in the garage already to go with the riv nuts.

Also, I can confirm my wings on the 80 have 2 hex holes each side. These, secure the v6 bumper to the wings, and the brackets mentioned earlier in the thread work a treat!
