Pic Request: oem rs4 vs. rieger rs4

**[]D[][]V[][]D** · 07-23-2004 12:48 AM

Anybody got some shots straight on that they could post of each so i can compare? I'm trying to decide whether to spring for the oem or not. If there are any similar looking front bumpers, go ahead and post those too. Thanks AZ

**skoTner** · 07-23-2004 12:53 AM

OEM:

Rieger:

**[]D[][]V[][]D** · 07-23-2004 01:01 AM

thanks man, helpful--they look more similar than i would have imagined

**skoTner** · 07-23-2004 01:05 AM

No prob... Rieger part no: D 00055028

**JMG** · 07-23-2004 01:19 AM

The biggest difference is the roundness of the OEM RS4 foglight openings. Also, teh RS4 has a wider body, so you have to mod the OEM bumper to fit an A4. They both look pimp imo.

**Monchichi8** · 07-23-2004 01:23 AM

OEM..4 sure!

**Zodiak** · 07-23-2004 01:32 AM

OEM is definitely the better looking one. But $$$ for the part, and the install

$$ u got that right. For the price to order the OEM, paint and install; you can def. order a full Rieger kit shipped to your door and still maybe be under OEM price.

Many dealers offer the washer cutouts as an option...i think I saw somewhere that soaked you $15 if you wanted to keep the washers.

Whe I get my A4, im bolting this baby on. Forget the name though, sorry.

Looks nicer than Rieger or OEM, imo.

**Monchichi8** · 07-24-2004 03:11 AM

What isthe price of theRS4 OEM piece......average price for paint and install for something like that also?

Yeah same here!

**r0n** · 07-25-2004 01:53 AM

The rieger rs4 is a direct bolt on. Also it doesn't come with the bottom lip on the spoiler. I like the OEM but heard it's not a direct bold on.

Which ever you get, you gotta get that lip on the spoiler.

**Lumas** · 07-25-2004 10:15 AM

I believe the going rate for install of an OEM rs4 here on the east coast is about $850. I believe you can get the bumper on ebay for 650 without fogs, or through someone like achtuning.com for more like $1000

Those chrome cluster rings. Where can I get them?

**MELBA** · 07-27-2004 01:21 PM

So do they roll the fenders some to get it to line up with the OEM RS4 bumper??

rolling the fenders shouldn't have any affect on the outer appearance of the fender. It just pushes the lining in.

I'm not sure if the fender has to be modified for the OEM Rs4 bumper though, some one else can speak on that

**nmb** · 07-27-2004 04:01 PM

my fender was pushed out a bit and the bumper pushed in.

Thank you.. ordered. I bought the heat resistant glue there as well.. same as you used?

**skoTner** · 07-28-2004 02:11 AM

And do you have some sort of guide on how to fit this?

**nmb** · 07-28-2004 02:22 AM

I didn't ordered the glue. At the time I bought, they didn't have it. Used normal silicone. Work great. There is a diy on aw I think...

Just be careful to unplug the connectors on the back of the cluster and also taking apart the front plastic 'cause it cracks easily. Some guy was able to get the rings on by pushing them through the holes.

**MELBA** · 08-09-2004 04:27 PM

Where can you find an OEM RS4 bumper?? I haven't been able to find any.
