The Front Bumper Thread (Exaccly What You Think)

[Bordom]

I was curious as to what was/is still available for the B5. Looking around got me to some strange places, but it looks like I've found a comprehensive resource on what may look good with OEM skirts + euro rear bumper (or whenever Bobkat decides to finish his R&D)

This is the most OEM bumper I found, the only difference being it has the added RS4 slits on the side. Excuse the horrid hood setup.
Audi A4 B5 S-Edition Front Bumper


At $419USD before shipping, and my Canadian Peso valued at such low levels, equivalent Canadian dollar conversions would be $2648 CAD...

This B7 RS4-esque bumper is interesting; aesthetics aren't too bad either. Again, don't mind the shit hood setup. Also costs the same as the first one.
Audi A4 B5 B7-RS-Look Front Bumper


This is also a decent option when compared to OEM or Reiger. The difference lies in the center section; it's molded to be flush with the side vents instead of lower down like OEM. There's also more area for air flow for those of you running FMICs. Coming in at $480USD, or $3096CAD, I'd be hard pressed to pick this up, though it is nice.
Audi A4 B5 R-Look Front Bumper


This rear bumper has great potential for the narrow body folk. Doesn't look tacky, and would compliment the RS4 front. $396USD for that bad boy.
Audi A4 B5 Avant RS4-Look Rear Bumper


This bumper was posted in the A4 section a few months ago. Not a bad option, but as mentioned in the other thread, it does look like an M-series BMW. The pricing on this website is also wack lol

Now, for the main attraction!

Note able eye sores.









Let the discussion of differing opinions commence...In other words, let the dark heart of the B5 S4 section rear it's ugly head lol

Considering these guys are based in europe. Shipping would be astronomical.

[redline380]

OEM or GTFO

[vavJETTAw36]

They are all ugly. The s edition is the only decent one but I don't see the point just to get those ugly fish gills. That's the only downside of even the oem rs4 bumper.

Meh. You can find used OEM on the cheap. I've found 2 S4 fronts for $75 each. Just have to look! Cheaper than those trash bumpers.

[88ninety9]

^Link? I have a buddy looking for a bumper atm....

[Mr.Jones18]

Oem or rs4 with a cupra lip or cuprazilla lip and call it a day.

Lol I made it up to exagerate how shit my dollar is.

Link as well. Everywhere I search people want a small fortune for them.

In true B5 S4 cultist fashion, very few have open minds to the first few posted. The rest are ugly as fuck

First one isn't bad, but it is fiberglass.

[Ribbie02]

I have bought 2 in the past for $75 each**

Junkyards ftw.

[Sole_]

The first one is the best by far lol.

[Bordom]

What about the one rear bumper? That looks pretty decent.

If only these were made out of plastic, they would be worth the money to put down on them

[getslideways]

First option and the Rear option look decent as alternatives, but without being made from a flexible material, I would expect them to crack in time. Then factor in shipping rates and an OEM unit might not seem so far away

[lo.boost]

I have a genuine RS4 bumper w/ mesh, and RS4 bumper shocks for sale $1500

[MacDaddy]

I would just pony up at the dealer, back in 2010 (cdn dollar sucked then too) it was $1100cdn, i cant imagine its far off from that now.

If you arent gonna go stock, at least go really cheap. I could see cheap body parts being justifiable for a track car or a budget project. They only crack when you bang them off shit.

I read with the fiberglass rep bumpers, you have to trim a bunch of shit to get it to work properly.

Do you have to trim these? If so, fuck it and get the Reiger

Dude just go oem man or OEM RS4 youll make your S4 look like crap. Not many around left in the GTA do it some justice. Hit me up I work at Audi I can possibly get you a decent price.

I have no money for these lol. I have my S4 bumper so I'm good for that. I would use the OEM S4 bumper for a widebody if I did.

[RichardB5S4]

I bought my S4 with a Rieger front bumper because the precious owner didn't spend the money for OEM.
Listen to everyone here, I'm also in the GTA and have been looking for an OEM bumper for the longest time, I can't afford it. But the second I can, OEM is my only choice. Rieger or any other bumper aftermarket bumper looks like ass. Very few people pull it off
