OEM RS4 bumper on an A4??????
 
Hey everyone, I'm in the process of doing a front bumper swap from my oem a4 front to an oem rs4 front. Ive searched and asked afew heads, but havent really found what i was looking for. Is there a thread that Ive missed or over looked that has a parts list and DIY guide like this page, A4 to S4, for the A4 to RS4? I know someones got a list and i really need it so i can know and understand exactly what Im getting into as far as cost and supply of these parts. I know some cutting will be needed but how do i mount it? Any help and or advice will help. Thanks for reading.

the bumper should just bolt right up. now if you were gona do a full rs4 conversion, then there would be more extensive work.

an OEM RS4 bumper will not bolt right up...its meant for a widebody car so the bumper needs to be modified to fit the A4 lines

alright, so no one has done this before with a rea oem rs4 front that was modified to fit a non widebody a4? what im lookin for is a part list of what ill need to make this happen, and have it look clean.

i have a replica rs4 bumper on my car. it was 25* out when i mounted it so its not on the correct way, but i used two 1/4" bolts in the front cause im gunna have a euro plate soon (or whenever the group buy act. happens haha) and on the side i just used two screws on each side and screwed it into the fender. the bumper feels like it will never move. the only cutting i had to do was to fit the FMIC. i havent done final fitting or body work on the bumper, but it took about 30mins for me to mount it how it is now. if it were the spring, i think i would have taken about an hour and a half to get the whole thing mounted perfect. (minus paint). hope that helps a little. oh and if you DIY, you should really start asking some friends w/ some free time if they can give u a hand, i wouldn't attempt this alone.
