Default A4 B5 bumper WITHOUT side vents

does anyone know of any good front bumpers that are like the S4 or RS4-but without the vent flare things on the side.

ideally I'm after a bumper on the smaller side too, but it needs to be big enough to fit big FMIC as I want to run a big turbo.

sounds like you are looking for an s4...there are a few people that have shaved the vents off of an rs4 bumper though

S4 bumper with the RS4 mod done to it sounds about like what you're looking for.

Here's an example of one unpainted:

yes, thanks the S4 bumper looks like the way I'll go if I upgrade the bumper, I 'll then puta nice fat ER intercooler behind it . I might not need to do the RS4 mod seeing as mines dark blue.

Do you think I'd need to upgrade the sides and rear to match? this audi looks good with what looks like standard sides. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8..._03/myaudi.jpgwith the dark colors might be able to pull it off.

I think that last link is the tackiest car I've seen in a while. Porsche wheels in a horrible size? Please. I personally do not like the large front bumper and stock rear or sides. I think it looks cheap, lazy and unfinished.

That looks like it's an S4 with OEM sideskirts. The concensus around these parts is that the s4 sides are the way to go, but to buy them new they are extremely cost prohibitive. Over a grand for sideskirts, clips, and other misc parts needed for install.

If you have a dark color, just paint match the lowers on the sides are rear, and call it a day. the extra 3/4 of an inch and small flares aren't worth the cost IMHO.

the Porsche wheels sort of look like their on backwards? If I get bumper I thinkI'll do something about the rears and sides, I just think that the dark blue Audi piccould bea good looking example of one with dark paint/standard sides. I know that the standard side skirts on mine look fairly chunky already, I don't know if the Australian Audi is different.

if you want side skirts, i think you can just get a piece of like fiberglass and cut and shave it the way you want it to look, then glue it onto the car, then bondo it. it would be alot more cost effective but alot more work. you could probably make them look like s4 sides. the only thing is they would most likely be premanent. it's just a thought though
