S5 bumper questions
 
I have searched but couldnt find anything soim making a post. Does anybody know anything about getting dents out of an s5 bumper, its not cracked or anything. Also the best way to remove paint in order to repaint it. And last: has anybody ever pt a s5 bumper on their s4 and how did it turn out?

Much appreciated

Sanding the bumper is the best way to get paint off IMHO, and yes S5 bumpers fit fine on S4's just make sure that you get the side mouldings and the rear bumper so your car doesn't look so confused. Or you could do what OneFastT2 did with his s5 bumper and paint the middle moulding section to match the black trim of his other s4 parts.

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone know about heating urethane so it goes back to the original shape? (its got a small dent in it)

You should be able to heat the urethane and pop it back to it's original shape. It won't be perfect though as urethane and urethane/fiberglass blends tend to get wavy and moreso when played with. A good coating of body icing (special smoothing filler) or just bondo and excellent sanding can get rid of the waviness.
