Oem rs4 and s4 bumpers are both lower than a4 bumpers. There are no oem rs4 bumpers that will bolt onto an a4/s4 without a good amount of modifications. S4 bumpers won't bolt right onto prefacelift a4's without some extra things. Oem rs4 and rs4 replica bumpers both look ugly imo.

Stock S4


Stock Euro RS4


S4 bumper will fit with almost no modifications, a real RS4 is a widebody and will need a lot of body work

Yeah see thats more what you're gonna want. As explained on that page, its not an OEM RS4 bumper, but an A4 bumper made in the "style" of an RS4 piece. Going to be much easier to fit. Also, ABS plastic is gonna be way better than fiberglass.

Alright I think something got lost in translation somewhere along this thread im not going wide body all I wanted is an RS4 style front bumper NOT the OEM bumper. I wouldnt know where to start if I had to modify the bumper to fit. I just want to order the thing have it shipped to my house get it painted and I can just slap the **** on

I had a Rieger front bumper for a while. It had no modifications at all to fit in place of the stock bumper.

Make sure you get the real Rieger not replicas tho.

I'm pretty sure all the aftermarket bumpers sit lower than stock... not 100% on that one though...
