Default custom bumper?

Today i was mind f*****g my car and started to notice some similarities between the stock bumper and the rs4. Has anyone attempted to just modify there stock bumper into a rs4 look. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard just a bit of cutting,molding and repaint.

Yeah would say find a bumper from the junk yard to work with. Actually get a crappy hyundai bumper to pratice on until you figure out what is going to work, then do it on a junk yard A4 bumper. Thats going to be tough though...

Yea i know it's not going to look the same but maybe a little better then what's on there now. As it stands now my bumper is messed up anyhow (took a BIG bite out a steel building)so if i really jack it up then it's so big deal i'll just get the bumper i wanted in the 1st place. I was just wondering if anyone did this before, or seen the similarities i did.

No, i bought it aftermarket from a place in Orange, Ca. it fit tight and no gaps, its really really close to perfect, i was surprised but like i said i only had to mod it to fit bigger pipes and didnt need to cut away at nothing to put intercooler.
