it's expensive...i just went with an aftermarket parking sensor setup for 50$

How expensive? As uk prices are cheaper. WHat is needed.

Does the aftermarket one look genuine, i.e is it flush with the bumper.

How's your conversion going. It was you and billi that gave me the inspiration.
Thanks. I'm going to keep intouch. If you don't mind as i might need your advice. Thanks.

P.S did you have any issues with wiring for the lights.

[inertia]

Good luck with project and keep us updated.

The sensor kit I and ngng have is a cheap setup from eBay which I bought for the rear bumper and found the sensor fitted straight in with either a touch of silicon or the option I’m looking at is the thick double sided tape to give the sensors a solid hold also the sensor can be painted and can be ajusted for direction.

Doc- I've wondered if the RS4 Euro rear bumper is shorter than a US version. Any insights?

[adeelkhan323]

Thanks Doc, looks ok.
i'll have to get two of these packs, one for the front, one for the back.

I already have the orignal rs4 sensors, so i'll just put them on ebay.

NGNG, not sure about the bumper, but if you want i can measure the uk one for you. Which measurment do you want.

[Turbo1A4]

great project! good luck

No Idea to be honest other than if you measure yours and I will check mine out.

[AvanTTix]

You want to measure the depth/width of the bumper. This is what we're trying to figure out:



On the B6 sedans, the Euro bumper (on the right) is shorter than the NA version (on the left).

i am confused as to what engine you have in your car... did you do a swap on the engine? S4? ...still trying to understand. Good luck on the build though.

this one is currently still in progress and i hope to see the end of it soon. good luck man!

He is from the other side of the pond. It's a 1.9 TDI

Hi, the engine in mine is a 1.9 tdi 130 bhp. I can afford to buy a s4 but can't afford to run it and insure it.

[JEENYUS]

good to know! well good luck dude and seriously it will be dope when you are finished.

[adeelkhan323]

I've put the front wings, bonnet and bumper on. Its not been aligned yet, just test fitted. There's a few mounting brackets that i need that hold the top of the bumper so have ordered them. Waiting for them, should have them tmrw. Looks more evil already.

[docurley]

Looks like a few parts I was bidding on lol

[adeelkhan323]

Lol, i'll let you know if i get any spare extra parts.

There's a guy in london, who is selling the full front end exc engine for £1500.
Thats wings, bonnet, front pannel, bumper, lights, grills, fogs etc.

[docurley]

Nah too much

[ngng]

I hate that you have Euro bumpers :( looks good!

You will need this (assuming you already have bi-xenons)

thanks to docurley for cluing me in in these! I'm going to use a little dab of RTV silicone to keep these in place

I have the orignal audi rs4 parking sensors, but i think this may be a better option. They look similar and the whole system will be alot cheaper. I'll just sell the sensors i already have, i got them for free when i bought one of the bumpers.

if you don't care about them working, just paint them and leave them in

It is a different part number...8E5 807 303 F GRU (EURO), 8E5 807 303 G GRU (USA)

The F bumper is not available to purchase in the USA, the support buffers are different too, I would have to assume the bumper is shorter.

OEM sensors are about $75 each 7H0 919 275 D GRU, harness for the front is about $175 8E0 971 085 A, harness for the rear is the same p/n and price, control module costs about $130 8E0 919 283 D

Well I think that cover the bumper size issue.

thx Greg

Thanks for that. Is that everything you need for the full parking sensor system. I already have the sensors. I'm gonna see how much the rest of the parts cost in the uk. If its cheap enough i'll go ahead with oem option.

This is the coolest body mod for the B6 i have ever seen...will have to look into it more closely after the 2L engine build.

This really does open the door for other mods like a carbon hood, etc - COOLIES!

Watching this thread closely now!

STARTED ON THE INTERIOR. ROOF LIGNING OF.

[migsan]

Great Project!!! I love to do this mod to my 2004 B6 Avant...

IMO, is better you go by the oem parking sensors...

Keep on and hope you finish it like you wish!!!

[ngng]

what are your plans for the interior?

[adeelkhan323]

what are your plans for the interior?

I know a guy in sheffield, who is well known all over the world for custom leather interiors.
He's won many competition and tropys for his quality and designs.
I'm going to us him to do me a rs4 replica bucket seat interior.
Here's one he did for my friend.



sorry don't have a larger picture,

[adeelkhan323]

I've just seen some pics of an audi a4 b6 where the back seats fold down. In the uk they don't. Can some explain. do the foreign ones fold down.

[docurley]

UK seats do fold down I have them in my B6.
