I have seen various contributions to this.
Here are some tips:
I drive an A8 4.2 TIP Bj 2/95 .
For the faceli ́fting I made my way from the USA for the bumpers. Body Molds worried (Fa COWLES PRODUCTS) - self-adhesive chrome trims that you can cut yourself.Looks like chrome, but is PVC and elastic and therefore easy to process.It is very durable, as my test over the winter has shown.
Body Mold for the bumper and Wheel Well Mold for the
Grill continuation under the front bumper. It looks good and it's cheap.
If you look at the web page of AUDIUSA, you will find under acessories for the A8 4.2 exhaust blinds
Exhaust Tips , polished stainless steel for about 70USD
I got them sent to me by an AUDI dealer in California. Looks good, too.
If interested I help with the procurement

I have read several times that there are no manuals.
The problem is solved!
Audi has set up an Erwin WebShop, through which each repair guide and schematic collection can be procured. I've covered up with everything.
The documents are subscribed for 1 year and can be downloaded here, used on the PC and printed out.
1 repair thread costs about 19 EUR. Before the end of the year, you quit and that's it.
Try it.

Hallo Andre,leider habe ich keine Digitalkamera.
Ich habe mir einfach angesehen, wie der "Chromschmuck" am A8 ab Ende 98 aussieht , wie er positioniert ist und welche Längen und Breiten die Teilstücke haben.
Daraufhin habe ich von www.cowllesproducts.com den Katalog der erhältlichen Body Molds heruntergeladen-
ProtectoTrim und gefunden, daß sich part number 37-630 gut für die untere Grillfortsetznung und 37-530 (11,1 mm Breite)
gut für die Stoßfänger eignet.
Dann habe ich COWLES kontaktiert und
an eine nette Dame Jlyons@CowlesProducts.com
gemailed , die mir geholfen hat, die Produkte zu bekommen.Bezahlung per Kreditkarte.
Das Resultat sieht gut aus und kommt dem Anblick des A8 von Ende 98 sehr nahe.
Viel Spaß beim Basteln.

Hört sich gut an, wenn das dann auch noch alles im Finazelem Rahmen bleibt ist das doch voll Ok .
