whats a good way to spend 4k
well i have 12v 2.8... there is nothing for the engine other than just rebuilding it lol and it runs fine already lol
Personally i would spend the rest on the engine, but i know you're looking for a practical car so i cant give you any better advice. Good luck with the car though!
ok sweet thats a relief... can i rewire the existing fog lights to work with the bumper fogs? or would i be better off to jsut get aftermarket kit and install with the bumper?

You'll have to get S4 grilles and fogs. They're a design unique to the S4 and the A4 grilles and fogs will not fit. Or you can forego the fogs and grilles, cut the crossbars out of the grille openings, and leave them wide-mouthed like the RS4. Looks great.
can u post a picture of what u mean by leaving it wide mouthed?

S4 bumpers don't fit right on perfectly to a4's.
I think that you may need more since you are prefacelift.
The fender liners are a little different too I think, if you want it to be perfect. I don't think it's worth it all especially if you're buying new.

For an a4 being converted to a s4 front bumper:
8D0 807 103 J Bumper Cover (CAN spec is "P")
8D0 807 683 G Lower center Grille
8D0 807 346 L Lower Right Grille (CAN spec is "M")
8D0 807 345 L Lower Left Grille (CAN spec is "M")
8D0 807 977 Plate Filler panel
Fog lights are not the same, the mandatory parts would be:
8D0 941 699 C Left Fog Lamp (US spec)
8D0 941 700 C Right Fog Lamp (US spec)
Impact dampters have a different part number, but you don't need them from what has been said over and over again. In case anyone is being that **** though:
8D0 807 271 C Left Impact Damper (CAN spec is "A")
8D0 807 134 C Right Impact Damper (CAN spec is "A")
Also, if you want to ugg up the bumper:
8D0 807 285 C license plate bracket

wouldnt that basically take all the money? so no more coil no more paint no more anything... but wouldnt i have to get the tranny as well.. and i have fwd not quattro so would that even work? (sorry im new to audi still so i dont know a lot of swap options yet)
and like i said in the beginning, im not really looking to modify this for power gains as this is also the car being used with my daughter in it as well.. her safety is more important than my want for a faster car
