    How is it that...

    An R8 front and rear bumper cost less then ours?

    Our front ("Euro"):
    $745 vs R8 $675

    And Rear (Euro)
    $895 vs R8 $725


    I understand there is a higher demand for a B5 bumper then an R8, but damn, really?

    Not even a b5 RS4, these are plain B5 S4 (everywhere except NA) rear bumpers. PLENTY more made then the R8. I doubt that's the reason.






    I was thinking about taping the r8 bumper on.

    Regardless, even a bumper from a car 10+ years old should be less expensive then the same brands new "super car"
