Wanted B8.5 Audi RS5 Front Bumper White

**Kev1512** · 03-09-2017 08:46 AM

Hello. I am looking to convert my 2013 Audi A5 front end to a 2013+ Audi RS5. IF you have a bumper for sale pm!!!

you're better off buying it new. oem rs5 bumpers don't fit FYI so u need an aftermarket replica

BK is correct. You'll want either the Rieger or Caractere bumper. You can check out what they both look like here: http://www.lltek.com/audigate/html/a5.htm

Another oem option is the S-line competition+ bumper

To me xenonzuk is a better choice than rieger because of fitment. Caratere bumper looks aggressive but not necessary a RS5 replica.

Not sure if comp+ bumper fit rs5 lower grilles, if so, it's going to be the best option.

Comp+ has its own lower grilles so you can keep fogs if you care about that. As far as xenonzuk goes, I've heard importing can be a PITA and you may have to pay a couple extra hundred for import fees but it's an option if you want

This is mine from Xenonz

Thanks for all the help guys. Will look into all these options. Can't decide whether to get RS5 front bumper first or a custom built exhaust made by JMB Motorsport Midwest first. Any opinions? Anything helps!!!

The RS5 bumper is not an option. It will not fit on an A5

i would personally do the front end first if you have a non s line as i feel that bumper looks really outdated

as for the exhaust, i feel that could wait. 2.0 exhausts are very tamed imo so even aftermarket or custom built they arent that satisfying. but then i again i had a straight piped r8 so my expectations are pretty high lol

just remember you cant do the oem rs5 bumper. you can do the reiger rs replica or xenon uk

i had the reiger and the fitment was not bad at all. as long as u have a good shop ur good to go. imo it was not worth paying an extra 500+ for the xenon when its only slightly better fitment out of the box.

I see what you're saying but it is a B8.5 not very outdated. I might go with the exhaust first. And you must be mistaken I've heard the same exhaust on other 2.0's and it's loud lol. Custom 3" going into two 2.5" stainless catback with quad exit tips.

Iv personally never heard a good audi 2.0 exhaust. I had a spm with gutted mufflers and it was just decent. Heard awe as well, billy boat, etc nothing was "sounds so gooood". But if u can get something built to the way u like, def go for it! Exhaust makes the whole driving experience much better

how could the comp+ bumper fit an A5 if it also fits the s-line?

The bumper itself is the only thing that differentiates the s-line and non s-line. The underpinnings and fenders are the same.

+1 for xenonz, much more worth it and the quality and fitment of the bumper is near damn perfect. Reiger has been pretty fragile in comparison imo

I'm confused. So the RS5 bumper will fit on an S5 and A5Sline but not an A5?
Comp+ bumper will fit on an S5 an A5Sline and an A5?
Obviously this all can't be true so what combo am I wrong about?

No.
RS5 bumper will only fit an RS5
Comp+ bumper will fit any A5/S5
