A4 (B5-B7) Front bumper / grille conversion PROJECT
Probably rs4 mesh, maybe fab up a piece horizontally to split up such a large gap (like the stock B7) but i might be changing the front bumper entirely! so we'll see what happens. i like the front views but the side views are killin me. i'll come up with something soon
I was lookin at your photoshop drop again and I'm starting to see an M3 look. Older model that is. With the squarish bumper (which is very B5) and the ratio of hood to trunk it looks fast just sitting there! Especially with the drop!
So after many months of not being able to work on my poor car i finall got back on it today. My biggest problem throughout this project was the front doesn't truely look like a B7 and the lower bumper never seemed to flow with the widebody.....therefore i decided to take off the headlights and bumper and replace them with OEM B7 headlights and a DTM bumper that will accent the widebody pretty good. I have a few """""TEST FIT"""""" pictures here.
There are some major gaps but i have molded inserts that will fill them, and the fender gaps i plan on welding new metal to the fender to match up correctly.....have no fear, i plan on doing this project right lol

Nice to hear you're still working on this awesome project. I thought you gave up or something.
Looking good like always. I'm glad you decided to ditch the original kit and go with the DTM. Looks so much cleaner and a lot more B7.
So I think now you're truly gonna convert it to a B7? Are you also converting the rear end?

Ya those gaps won't last long lol. Those are cut out sections I made in order to mount and bring the headlights inward an inch on each side. I have a piece that fits right in that i will hopefully do soon.
