[s-cars] Bumper cap fixed, sorta...

Hi ALl-

First off, thanks for the heads up on those hangers (Wow!! a cheap Audi part, almost as rare as cheap Porsche parts) got mine from the dealer yesterday, special order.

Anyway, following the TB procedure, the bumpercap came off without a hitch, parts were swapped, and I figured this would be one of the shortest (timewise) fixes ever.  Then I tried to put the bumper cap back on......

OK what is the secret handshake needed to get the hex bolt holes to line up with the bumper cap???  Mine are just plain "off" though I was able to get one lined up.  The other side won't!!  Are the bumper attachments adjustable for length??  If rotated, will they move in/out from the body?  The bumper cap looks like it is one square to the body, but these won't line up.

BTW those of you that can do this as a one man job, I salute you.  I earned myself a sh!tload of house work by enlisting the aid of my wife to get this thing on.  Of course the replacement and removal (5 times?) trying to get these holes lined up did not help.

Any advice?

TIA,
Riff
