Red face Trying to find RS4 fenders.

I was looking into the RSR body kit from Uberhaus and started looking around for the RS4 wide body fenders. I went to the ECS site and found the complete kit for an astounding $13K. I just want the fenders. If anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

i think LLtek.com has a widebody kit for like $6k and they probably sell the parts individually as well. OEM RS4 parts are not cheap.

I noticed that it was expensive, but that is a little over the top for me. I just checked the LLTek site and didn't see anything about a widebody kit. I think an A4 with a low stance and a wide body is one of the sexiest things in the world.

The A4 looks pretty wide when it's lowered and stock! Helps alot with it's expression if you have horizontal lines at it's front and change the headlights.
RS4-front makes alot of vertical lines and mesh patterns, it looks agressive, but not wide at all.. S4 has a lot of horizontal lines

I wanted to put a tight black mesh around the car and black out the front rings, lower the car an inch or two, and find some rs4-ish fenders so I can put some 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 shoes and maybe a 12-15mm wheel spacers on there. That might look wide enough. It's a dream, or better yet, a goal to have her look like that.

if you put rs4 fenders on the front, it'll look disproportionally wider than the rear. you should either go for the whole rs4 setup or don't do it at all. depending on tire size and offset you can easily fit 19x8.5. you'll just need to roll your fenders. i'd go 19x8 as the largest though

if you're going to to RS4, go all the way. like hiwords said, it wont loot right unless you do the fenders on all four corners, which turns into a lot of body work and money...

if you want a wider look go with wider wheels. i'm running 19x8.5 up front and 19x9.5 in the rear with 8mm spacers. tires are stretched a little and the fenders are rolled to make it fit, but it definitely gives a meaner stance.

There was a guy that used to sell CF RS4 front fenders. But if you aren't going to do the rear 1/4 panels too its going to look really odd. Kind of like a Civic with slicks up front with fenders to cover the wheels but running skinnies in back.

Sorry I didn't elaborate more guys. I mean to put wider fenders on all four wheels. I would never just put wide body fenders on the front. How do I roll the fenders?
