An OEM RS4 bumper will not bolt on and line up properly since the RS4 is a wide body car. Although, I've heard they can be made to fit with some modifaction. If you want the RS4 look with out the side gills there is a DIY which details how to mod the stock lower grilles from an S4 to get the more "open mouth" look of the RS4. It entailed cutting out the cross sections on the grilles and smoothing and repainting.

EDIT: feeling helpful. here's a link with some pics for what I'm talking about http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...RS4+bumper+mod The car doesn't look to good in the pics but he gives a nice close up of the modded grilles.

 

LOL, yeah about 9 years old news.

 

Mcgovs, Very nice! The wide mouth look is what I'm wanting. That looks pretty sharp. I dunno I guess I'm just going to have to deiced what I'm going to do. I mean in reality time is money so the extra time cutting and fiber-glassing everything and dry time it might just be worth the extra $100-$200. Thanks for feeling helpful!

 

an S4 bumper can be modded to look like an RS4 in the front but won't have the shark gills on the side. as for the link, that's how much it is for the OEM kit and you still need to weld the rear quarters in and sand and paint. everything else is bolt on.

however, you can take your shop to a good hot rod or old school car restoring place, show them a picture and tell them how wide you want it, they can do it for you for much cheaper. you would only have to buy the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper. screw the belly pan and all the other stuff.

 

zre there any mods like that u can do with the stock a4 bumper?

 

yes new bumbernor fog lights

 

well i've seen a couple of people mold their bumper and lower valence together and then cut the little piece at the bottom of the bumper down to the lower valence. it kind of looks like an RS4 bumper but not quite. i wouldn't do it unless you got a bumper for free or something lol. also you probably will never be able to copy the shark gill very well at home

 

Yes but because the stock A4 bumper is 2 pieces you really have to do plenty of work to make it 1 sold bumper.

 

Here is the DIY B5 S4 front bumper mod "RS4 conversion"
