My rear bumper (silver) is all scratched up. I had no luck googling for "a4 rear bumper buy" or variation of that. What's the cheapest way to get this fix? The car is old so I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. I thought about going to a body shop to get some estimates or even a car wash that can do some simple "paint over" after sanding it down. One place used something call http://appliedcolors.com/ I'm worry the color won't match or body shop will be too much. Replacing a rear bumper looks pretty easy as a DIY but can someone help point to where I can source the part. Maybe even a part from a body kit may work.

how do I find one of those?! Any online system that can help navigate these yards or I actually have to visit a few of them?

Thanks. Got quoted $765 - $840 thru junkyarddog.com. OUCH! For that much, I'll live with my scratches.

Sent you a PM. I have a mint condition rear bumper, removed for my DTM rear.
I believe its color you are looking for.
I also have a silver rear bumper, removed for a DTM. Where is Selden? I'm in CA.

Scratches? Just go to a shop and have them sand it down and respray it! Cheaper than replacing the entire bumper cover.
