    Bravo on the retrofit that is sorely needed on the backend of these Audis. Thanks for sharing the process and details submitted. I am undertaking a similar feat with the backend of my Audi Q3 and hope to obtain similar results.

    Excellence! How the Gen 9 should have came from the factory.

    Excellent video and nice job! Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to watch the next instalment of your planned upgrades. By the look of it, a similar hole in the diffuser could be cut out using the internal sensor bracket as a template to allow for a fitted towbar/hitch + electrical connector. I am considering doing the same on my SQ5 but I would need to cut a towbar hole without messing up the new diffuser. Cheers.

      Thank you, ben_lag-7053! The plastic kick-sensor bracket can easily be used as a template for cutting that hole. I removed that bracket with a heat gun and a flathead. I went slow and steady to ensure I didn't deform it. Cleaning that adhesive off the bracket was the hardest part. I used adhesive remover and a plastic razor. It took a couple of hours to get it clean enough for 3M VHB adhesive tape. I was prepared to cut that hole if necessary. I would've drilled four pilot holes in the corners and used my small cut-off wheel to free it up. No one can really see under there, but I would have used "edge trim" to finish that job and make it look nice. The fact that my kick-sensor works without the hole means you're right about it existing for the tow package. Good luck to you!

    Can you remove the lower piece without taking off the bumper?

      Thanks for asking. You could, but you'd probably do a lot of damage. Tabs are fragile and there are two metal push clips that are in tough spots. I would recommend just removing the entire bumper. It takes less than 30 minutes. Once it's off, you'll be glad you did it that way.
