I have the full write up saved of how he did his if you want the link. You could also just google RS4 which is the real widebody

Ya, the more I see this the more I like it. I knew there was a kit to convert the B6.

Honestly I can see potential in the project for it to look really good if done right. Very interested in updates on this.

my biggest problem right now is finding a grill that is compatible with the kit. I'm almost positive it's not and A3. and judging by the number of slats in the ugly conversion that someone pulled off in Germany, i think it could be an A6 grill that i actually need.

Any help with that? Where can i get dimension on each model's grill? Someone go outside and measure their stock A4/A6/A3 singleframe grill please! lol

You just have to read threw and see what he did. It's a running thread that was just updated along the way! He rolled and pulled his IIRC

check this guy's car out. he has oem rs4 front fenders and pulled rear fenders. the rears are wider in his recent pages

username "jesster" on vortex also has a b5 with nicely widened fenders. I think you'll need a wide body to pull off that front kit...

What sideskirts are these guys using??? they blend in great with the widebody. i think i might have to try to come up with something similar.

I dunno I'm not convinced yet, but I'll withhold judgement until i see the finished product. Good luck man, its good to see someone doing something original!
