Default Best RS4 Front Bumper Replica?

So just out of curiosity, does anyone have any thoughts on which is the best RS4 front bumper replica for a B5 A4, short of a full RS4 conversion like Siena and Docurley have done? Say in terms of fit, ease of install, quality of material, and so on.

i have not done anything to my audi in a while but when i was trying to get one i found one for around $100. but i just looked around and it looks like the price has gone up a lot!. looks like your gonna have to pay some bank unless you go on ebay.

but installing it is very easy and i think they all look the same so you cant really go wrong.

Here something I posted up on my local forum and which a few people have now fitted.

Ok I found another bumper and with a little mod of taking out the swag line I would say it's quite a good match and the plus side is that the OEM RS4 grills fit.

So if some one could do a photo shop to see the effect.......


Here's pictures of my OEM RS4 bumper.

And here are some fitted to a S4

It's been a busy bank holiday! The Dietrich front end is finally on, complete with genuine RS4 grills. Looks pretty good, fairly oem styled, fit was good too, not to over the top but something a bit different. Closest to genuine rs4 so far, apart from the swage line, which I was gonna remove, but it's not a groove in the bumper, it's more of a step so a lot harder to remove. I did however chop the side vents out so they're functional and not just a naff looking mould added in.

Anyways, few pics for y'all. Sorry about the poo quality, I'll try get some decent ones soon enough though, but you get the idea.


This is the best looking unit I have found that looks like the real thing and takes the RS4 grills and will let you fit OEM fogs

I have the Rieger RS4 Rep. and i love it. it looks insane. quality stuff. The only problem that i had was that the bumper came very very close to the front side of the treads on my ties...why...i dont know...maby its a thing with all the kits but i think i may have to shave it a little bit if i dont want snow up there when i get a bigger tire and wheel package.

Looks like Tm Tuning has that bumper to. I am ordering the euro s4 bumper from them, I cant find it any place else. Should I order the RS4 rep bumper from them at the same time?

lltek.com has a RS kit and the Rieger RS4, you might want to check out the difference.
