Would they say anything if you drive down to the dealer/shop to buy the bumper with no bumper on your car, install it while you are there and then drive back over the border? I mean at that point it is on the car not just sitting in the trunk/back seat.

Yeah....as long as they can tell it was bought in the US, I will have to pay taxes and duties on it. About 33%.

Nice ASA rims. Go with the RS4 front bumper. It's a crowd favorite.

I personally have always preferred the s4 bumper over the rs4. I really dont like the cuts on the sides of the rs4 bumper...too sporty/street racer for me...I think the s4 bumper is a little more reserved. However, the rs4 looks really nice on 1.8's or anything with an fmic.

Very true. I like both S4 and RS4 front bumpers, but youre right with the FIMC.

My choices would be:

1)OEM RS4
2) OEM S4
3) OEM A4 Euro facelift.

Not keen on the Charactere or any other aftermarket bumpers, but the choice is yours.

S4 front bumpers are a lot cheaper here in the UK from a dealer.
