the rieger rs4 kit is perhaps the ugliest product on the market.... the front is acceptable, i can deal with that (would prefer to have oem rs4 front but w/e)

the sides are way too low, and the lines molded into them are trashy and out of place (v1 and v2 alike)

and the rear.. well it looks like exactly what it is a piece of trash bolted onto the back of your car, way too low, grills in the rear bumper are idiotic, and having the exhaust run through it.. just looks terrible

i have heard that the quality is poor etc etc, i cant comment i've never owned or installed any of their products

 

ive owned the front bumper and it is trash too, the fitment is horrible and its made of fiberglass so its hard to bend and it cracks and the paint peels off

 

Well my plan was to put on the front 8E lip like in the very first post, S4 sides because I hate the ones pictured as well, and paint my rear lower piece. How bout that? I don't like the crazy bodykit look either, just don't like my factory front bumper.

 

GO with the s4 bumper, Its the best choice no doubt. And the guy who bought jeffs car i believe put the s4 bumper on it but took out one of the horizontal bars and made it look like the rs4 bumper but better.

 

Yes go with the S4 front and do the RS4 mod, stick with the S4 sides as well and you'll have a HAWT car

 

Can we not just use the oem components rather than aftermarket to get this look?

 

but no one answered his questionis there a difference between european front bumpers? the bumpers in the pics (not the lip) dont look too bad...is that the euro spec bumper??

 

the euro a4 front looks just like the NA a4 front, but the euro, is a bit stubbier, and the fog grills and stuff are flish with the front of the bumper (ours are recessed a little bit)

the one in the link is a rieger

DJTR:
the only oem compnents that are available, is the s4 and rs4 front bumpers

 

hmmmm.....but they will fit correct? I'll appoligize for my newbness on this one, ask about a mustang and I can probably give you a very good answer or a 4x4 truck but the Audi is my new challenge
