All the big Audi sedans of that era require bumper cover removal to get to

God, really?  I mean, I think I can get to that bolt eventually, but my
hands will probably be shredded by the time I'm done.  It might be worth it
to not have to mess with the bumper, though.  Unless there are other reasons
I'd need to.  Is it just that one bolt that makes it so the bumper needs to
be removed?
