RS4 front bumper options, pics?

[killa]

Anyone knows the best ones to get, best bang for the buck, post pics, material, pros, cons, etc.

Info would be appreciated.

For about 600 bucks you can mod an S4 bumper to look like an RS4 but fitment will be better. The bumper is 503, the grilles about 40 used, and the center filler plate about 20 used.

If you have a facelift A4 (years 1999.5 through 2001) then the S4 bumper should bolt right up to your stock bumper shocks. If you have an earlier A4 then you'll either need the bumper shocks from an S4 or a later A4. These are available from the dealer for about $90 each or on eBay for about $60-100 shipped for the pair. Check the forum classifieds first.

The following prices are dealership list and the price for parts sold to a body shop. Your prices may be better or worse depending on your relationship with your parts guys.

That last one (Guide) is the piece that attaches to the car that the sides of the bumper snap into. It is a price for one and won't be necessary for most of you.

An interesting note is that they list difference part numbers for the US and Canadian S4 bumper shocks. This is probably due to their different impact requirements.

Makes a nice snowplow too!



Just cut the bars out, fill it with fiberglass, and smooth with bondo. Very quick and easy.

S4 w/RS4 mod = FTW.

Easily done without a DIY, but here's one anyway.

note: the prices are old.

i personally hate the fins on the side of bumpers and think this looks better than an actual rs4 bumper.

Damn. All that hard work on the bumper and he went and put those on the headlights.

yeah, i'm not a big fan of his headlights or hood grill... but it's not my car (thank god).

his bumper looks good though..
