A4 B7 DTM replica from GRP

[Lierdex]

Have anyone installed these or have any idea if these are good or anything??

thanks !

No experience with them personally. I'd plan on some "modification" to make it fit correctly. Even the more expensive, genuine, kits can take some tweaking to make them fit right.

[A4A4A4]

If you're going to do it at all, do it right. If it's not an OEM bumper, I'd avoid it.

[CorneliusRox]

To me it looks like the bumper flares too much anyways. Looks like the RS4 version with the wider fenders.

But the price isnt bad. Just drop off the car with everything to a good body shop and tell them to make it work.

[cbaquol]

Depending on the quality, if that worked it would be pretty sweet, although 99.9% of the time you get what you pay for. $750 for front rear and sides is too good to be true. We need a guinea pig!

[DRAKLORE]

I would bite on that!
The only thing that bothers me is the gay grille they got connected... Almost like it won't accept say the grille I have...

that was my thought. looks like they built the grille into the bumper. horrible.

The pictures in the advertisement 170% don't match. Look at the pictures of the grille and they have a built in mesh that is very fine, the pictures of the brilliant red a4 have much thicker black mesh.

I would not put money down for anything on ebay unless every single thing looks perfect and real, especially international sales.

Also consider that shipping is going to be expensive because the seller has listed 30 pounds within the UK, but you are outside.

take a look at prestige bumpers or somewhere else that is a reliable business.

[DRAKLORE]

Do you have a link to these prestige bumpers?
I've found a ton of eBay DTM kits and the pries are good, but too good is my assumption.

This is the link to an s4 bumper that is DTM style, there are other bumpers on the website too, this was just the first one that popped up.

Dude, No.

[DRAKLORE]

Yeah, after
Looking at the kits it's another example of "do I do it cheap?" or "do I do it right?" and I'd rather do it once and not have any worries over a couple hundred.

So looks like GAP is probably where I will order the front/rear/ and skirts... I would use my existing grille and I'm also looking at S4 blades, CF mirror covers, A8 rings and maybe a CF painted/wrapped trunk.

/discussion lol

[Operator]

I built a DTM parts list on GAP and parts.com The parts are cheaper on parts.com, but shipping was less on GAP. You might try doing the same as shipping could be less to you from parts.com thus lowering your bill.

[DRAKLORE]

Alright thanks man, never thought to use parts.com I hope the availability is ok, as that's the most important thing for me. I don't want to wait months for stuff to ship. Oh well hopefully things come together as this year rounds out.

[Mc Suly]

If you do it cheap & messes up.

wasted $$

[DRAKLORE]

What kind of ship time should I expect.... Preferably some
First hand experience from some people.

Shane, I have a set of eBay carbon fiber mirrors I can send ya for cheap if you want em'.

^whats cheap?...

Since DTM owners seem to be here, I'll give my question a 3rd try here too:

Deval CF Splitter
Just looking to see if anyone has an idea on which option I should select to get the best fitment. Once again the lip is going on a OEM DTM bumper. The options are: Sline, Non-sline, S4, RS4, B6 Ultrasport or Deval (RS4 style rep). I'm leaning towards RS4 or Deval as those bumpers seem to be more in-line with the DTM bumper shape. Thoughts? And Yes I'm passing on the OEM CF lip.

Thanks!

[A4A4A4]

Shane's always been a good guy, I'll give it to him for not much more than whatever it costs to ship from Canada to Georgia.

I'd guess non s-line but you could always just shoot eurogear a PM, email, or phone call and find out for sure.

I have seconds if he doesnt want them

All the salesman told me on the phone was that there was an OEM lip that went with the DTM bumper (I already knew that). He didn't seem to know the answer to my question. I'll give the pm option a try.

[DRAKLORE]

Cam, pm sent.
I wish there was a good option for real cf window trim :-/ hopefully 3m and the eBay mirrors do not clash. But I'm used to my car being a 10ft car anyways lol

i think it will clash...maybe gloss black vinyl instead for trim?

[A4A4A4]

Sorry Inked, I've only got the one set and it looks like Shane's taking them.

x2, I don't think CF trim will look proper beside the mirrors. If you want other CF accents I'd go with DTM rear spoiler, CF front bumper lip, and/or CF S4 doorblades.

[DRAKLORE]

Probably going to go with the CF door blades, I want to stay away from the eBay blades as I've read a few bad reviews. There's a guy in the B6 section who makes them and I guess they area good fit for a good price. I think CF with DTM body and NOGGY wrap is going to look really really good/original.

You get the idea

[beantown]

^^^Fab an RS4 grille and it'll look niiice.

Ordered Monday, "supposed" to ship out by Friday. I'll keep you updated if you want.

[DRAKLORE]

Thx devan!! :/)

[Operator]

Shipped out Friday at 1:34pm

[DRAKLORE]

Awesome to hear, where do they ship from?
You must be excited! I think the red will look really nice. I'm excited to hopefully order mine, not sure if I am swing it, but when cam ships the mirror housings I will order the 3m, I want to experiment on a 1"x1" piece with clearing or even doing a epoxy over the 3m on trim to see how it holds/looks.

Again-thank you Cam, your a good guy. I found it funny that for the first time my wife said I did the right thing when it comes to $$ and the car!

[DRAKLORE]

On prestige parts I see a used DTM front and rear both pretty beat up for about 760$ not shipped.. But they also have an RS4 rear bumper, which I can't remember if it's the front or rear that flair?!
Either way my feeling is, I'm not sure what's better, buying a visibly damaged mismatch set of DTM bumpers that will obviously need work because they are "recycles" and have been tweaked... Or buy a new set of aftermarket DTM bumpers, and side skirts that would need minimal tweaking to make fit-for roughly the same price!

[Operator]

My insurance helping foot the bill helped make my decision on just about all my spring up grades. Had I wanted to do all this on my dime alone, I may have looked for shortcuts, sometimes they pan out. If your good at tweaking the exterior yourself, give it a go. Or if a bodyshop near you won't cost mad $$$ OT might be worth it. For me doing the install by myself ( with JR and Juny helping hint hint ) I don't want to deal with possible ill fitting parts. But if you have more body work experience, give it a go.

[Lensch09]

Come on Shane, do it once, do it right.

[DRAKLORE]

Oh I will do it right, just feeling out my options. :-)

Awesome! Let us know what route you take painting wise. And if they give you a deal haha
It's going to look good
