Is there a company that makes an RS4 front bumper thats EXACTLY (not close) to oem

[///M3 TO S4]

I don't want a reiger, it looks like crap due to all the squared edges in the front opening, and the flairs on the side which arn't smooth and rounded off. I know it looks similar to the RS4 bumper, but it's an really ugly, flashy ripoff, and the bumper sagg's down like 3 inches below the rest of the body .

I just want to know if their is a 100% replica anywhere made? I'm still paying off my stage 3 upgrade, so i don't have the funds for an oem. Any help would be great, thanks guys.

i have seen one mentioned here before, but i forget the company that makes it. im sure someone will chime in.

Hey ///M3,
you ever get that tranny rebuilt?

[///M3 TO S4]

Hey ///M3,
you ever get that tranny rebuilt?

negative....I can drive it like normal, it just takes a little extra effort to go into first, and the shift to second. No grinding, ect. Since it's hurt I drive the car VERY, VERY easily. Rebuild within a month for sure....just too busy between school and work.

Hey ///M3, I just did the tranny rebuild from JHM on my S. If you need any help at all let me know.

Thanks man! Rebuilding a tranny is one of the only things I have never done on a car....so it should be interesting. Thanks again, i'll make sure to hit you up if I have any questions! And jerbal too! I didn't forget about you either bro!

now were talking! Looks like the closest thing to oem i've seen so far. Thanks man!

[audirs]

no problem, it does look real nice. priced well too

[The_Jerbel]

If you could get some RS4 mesh, it would be sweet. The license plate-delete and headlight washer nozzle-deletes look good IMO, but the mesh looks like arse...

[Das General]

McKennaS4 has one. I thought it was OEM, but its not.

I've decided i'm going with the OTHER bumper they make, it's identical to rs4....almost. This bumper.....








I would ONLY use OEM RS4 mesh



Fitment:Looks pretty good to me.







I LOVE this purple A4....it's fitted with the same exact bumper....

noes! your going away from stock!

did you damage your stock one?

[///M3 TO S4]

noes! your going away from stock!

did you damage your stock one?

nope, stock bumper is fine, just love the look of the rs4 bumper, and couldn't afford the 1500+ dollar real one, plus paint, plus prob 2-300 extra to mold it to the stock fenders. No way i would pay 2,000 installed for a bumper.

yea, i was thinking about switching out, my front bumper has some damage under the front when i got it. hard to see, hafta look under. the lips look so so but I like the stock rs4 look. bumper+shipping+paint+fitting. looking at 900+

[EUROTEK//S4]

wasnt the company that makes the X1 intake, going to make a CF RS4 front bumper replica ?

[S4shpion]

Im guessing this bumper is made out of fiberglass?

[///M3 TO S4]

nah, it's actually plastic composite of some sort....

DAM. good find man. that actually does look really close to it. hmmmm, and its only 330... question, may be stupid, will this come with a "bumper support" lol

[Rapter]

Good question and let me know if you buy one because I'm in need of a new front bumper and we could probably make it cheaper by sending a couple to the same location. This is actually cheaper than the plain stock bumper skin I was planning on buying.

doubtful.....but i dont have one anyway due to my fmic...

[infinkc]

do the rs4 grills screw right up to the tmtuning bumper?

[AudiSportB5S4]

doubtful.....but i dont have one anyway due to my fmic...

yeah, see i just went back to AWE sidemounts so im all about the bumper support haha. if it doesnt run it, i wonder how it stays up in the middle

I was thinking about going for the dietrich front end too. Needs that swage line smoothing out, but looks real good. Like the purple one pictured above a lot! Like that it takes OEM RS4 grills too.

Just concerned about fitting it. How would you go about mounting it? With standard bumper removed there's very little to actually mount it to. If anyone goes for it, or has any ideas would appreciate it.

[///M3 TO S4]

When I get it i'll let you guys know how to mount it.....lol. Wont be till the end of the summer, but it will happen. I'll do another write-up ;)

I like the line in the bumper, personally. If you look close on the purple a4, it has the line still...

Ill probally order mine right after you get yours, Ill be moving back around late Oct, that way I can see what you had to do to get it to fit. Ill also fix my stock one and have two bumpers.

[McKennaS4]

i had the seidl ( not the one pictured but the other one on tmtuning) it was fiberglass and not the best quality. that one has potential with the line smooted out... but i chose to rs4-mod an s4 bumper that i picked up due to the fmic fitment issue. i have yet to paint my pipes black and get my rs4 mesh in but here's a quick pic of how she looks right now. can't rival OEM fitment imo.

[The_Jerbel]

Oem Rs4 Ftw

[FrimmelNoJerz]

i got your upgrades right here.

im not clicking that because i like to be able to see.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

^the only right answer.

[AudiA4_20T]

yo btw TMTuning has INSANE shipping prices so Ive heard, itll probably be another $350 to get it here

any updates ///M3 TO S4 ? What did you end up buying? Im looking for a new front bumper thanks to a dumbass cat/racoon beast thing in the street at 5am. Hope the thing died a slow painful death!

P.s. Nube question. I havent had a chance to take a look. Are our foglights a sealed unit? or can the bulbs be replaced? That also shit the bed with the bumper

You can replace the bulb. You unscrew the light then pop out the bulb from the rear.

I disagree with everything you just said about the Rieger, except that it does sit lower than OEM S4 sideskirts (which is why they sell an entire bodykit). I have the Rieger, which IMHO looks better than the OEM RS4 bumper. I also have the Seidl tuning bumper, which is closer to the RS4...but, it looks funny with 19s (so, I only run it in the winter when I throw on my 17s). If you are gonna run 19s, you need a more aggressive lower bumper...otherwise the car just looks like it is sitting up too high.

[AMC]

reiger looks like shit

[AUDILUX]

reiger looks like shit

Wow, that's intelligent.

[stapo69]

I'm in the process of fitting and painting the Dietrich front end pictured on the 1st page, I have the OEM RS4 grills fitted, just spraying to do now. I'll post pics when it's done.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

Wow, that's intelligent.

no, its observant.

[AUDILUX]

no, its observant.

Then the same could be said of the 1-series...hahahahaha.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

i'm not disagreeing with you.
