Jakec589 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Hi all, new to Audi just picked up this really clean 2009 TDI I'm looking to find out what these yellow plastic bits are in the middle of my front bumper and how I can replace them as they've gone yellow and really stand out any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I see no "yellow plastic bits" in your picture. A better photo and description might help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so aren't they day time running lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Um? Steve, but Jake if talking about the middle of the bumper -? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffcoggin Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I don't download anything from strangers. Attach the picture to your message Jake, or put it on a public platform that scans for malware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 First try cutting compound and elbow grease. Kind regards, Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakec589 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 okay thanks ill give scrubbing them a try and report back! if not I'll remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 No, not ‘scrubbing them’ Jake - just getting some cutting compound on a damp cloth and carefully rubbing that into the lens, and then polishing off. I would put masking tape around the light to prevent the cutting compound getting onto the paintwork. I recalled after posting that there is a strong caustic product called ‘Elbow Grease’ - maybe obvious, but I didn’t mean to suggest using this - do not ( in caps) use this. By elbow grease I meant ‘effort’, but hopefully you knew that. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Apparently toothpaste works on headlights when they've gone milky. You could try it on these. They're definitely daytime running lights added as an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
