Pictures of the OEM styling for A4 B8?

I love that front lip spoiler and wish it was available for S Line bumpers. The rear diffuser looks cool, but should be all CF instead of just the trim. I'm not a fan of the trunk lip spoiler design at all. I got the Rieger one instead because it's more subtle and integrated into the B8's lines.

I agree with you on the trunk spoiler. I use to be around on different car-shows/happenings/meetings in Norway. And then I can show the OEM styling. That's why I bought the complete kit. Got a good price for buying the complete kit. (The kit cost very much here in Norway)
But as you say, I think the Rigeger trunk is better looking :)

Glad to hear someone bought the kit... can't wait to see it on your car! I assume you got the CF blade on the front lip?

Yes, I believe the optional front blade finishes are CF, Red, and Silver (maybe color match as well?) if I'm not mistaken. I would assume CF is standard though. Look at the 3rd and 4th pics you posted... the 3rd is CF and the 4th is obviously red. Most of the pics I've seen show CF blade, so that's what I assume you're getting if you didn't specify.

Okay. Did'n hear anything about that. I thought the styling comes pre-primed and ready for painting. Stod something about using original color on car, or contrast color.
Been thinking of painting the frontblade slategray from porsche, together with the "blade" on the rear diffusor. The thing between the bumper and diffusor.(Black on 1.picture and silver on 2.picture.)

If the blade comes with real CF, it would be a crime to paint over it IMO. If it's just some cheap simulated CF material like the Rieger lip, then definitely have it stripped and painted. A dark matte grey would be a nice contrast. Just make sure it's matte and not glossy.
