Audi 90 Front Bumper Scan

Audi 90 front bumper covered in reference targets during a structured-light 3D scan

The problem

Parts for a classic Audi 90 are effectively impossible to find or buy new. To design and remanufacture the front end, Tony's Classics needed an accurate digital copy of the original bumper to work from.

When a part hasn’t been made in decades, you can’t order it — you have to recreate it. And you can’t recreate what you haven’t measured.

We prepped the entire front bumper with a light coat of scanning spray to kill glare, then applied stick-on reference targets across the surface so the scanner could lock onto its position. The whole bumper was captured in a single file at 0.3 mm resolution — enough detail to rebuild every contour, mounting point and body line.

From there the mesh becomes a base model: something the shop can design new parts against, fit upgrades to, and even shrink down to 3D print as display pieces.

The outcome

A clean, dimensionally accurate 3D model of the front bumper — a base for designing new parts, grilles and upgrades, and for printing scale display models.
