Are there any aftermarket replacement bumpers?

[chi123]

Looking to replace both my front and rear bumpers or at least have them resprayed due to rock ships and flaking. Looking online, I did not expect the OEM bumper to cost over $1K. Are there any aftermarket replacements with parking sensor holes?

Also, with the OEM bumper costing over $1K, figure I might as well upgrade. What options are out there? I've been thinking about the RS4 replica front on the B8 but I don't know if it looks better than stock. Pics would be great. Thanks! [:)]

No reason to replace them unless there is damage to the skin, rock chips and flying will be sanded off prior to respraying. Even minor damage can be repaired easily if it's going to be re sprayed.

Got the car used and the front has some pretty deep rock chips that made tiny dents in the bumper. Also, the bumper right under the fog light is cracked.

I detailed my car earlier this week and got some compound stuck in between the rear parking sensor and the bumper. Put a pressure washer to it and the pressure literally ripped off the paint so now I have a big spot on the rear bumper. Touch-up paint is going to look ghetto in such a huge spot and I thought the labor to strip the bumper would be the same as a new bumper but had no clue the OEM bumper is $1100 and there's no aftermarket ones. Only concern I have is with my body shop. They do great work but I'm worried their painter may not do a good job prepping the bumper after sanding the old paint off and there will be orange peel and might chip easily.

I'm considering the RS4 replica but again, I feel like the stock bumper looks better. I have a B8.

Even to strip your OEM bumper and repair a small crack should be cheaper than going with a new bumper. Remember a new bumper (depending on source) is not going to come painted and you would be looking at $1100 + a few hundred to paint. I would think that you should be able to have your current bumper repaired and resprayed for under $500 depending on color.

I've seen some full front bumper RS4 kits on Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20150622061953&SearchText=audi+s4+bumper)
