Default Is RS4 an audi body kit or a model of the audi?

I am real noob with cars and I am looking into getting an Audi A4 B6 2003 model, will i be able to put an RS4 body kit on it. Like is RS4 the body kit for an Audi or is it another model of an Audi?

the RS4 is the top of the line as far as the A4 platforms go.

it comes with the same 4.2L V8 found in the S4, but making about 420hp.

there are visual differences too, like the lower front valence, door blades, and mesh grills over the fog lights instead of the slats like A4s have.

however, im pretty certain that you could pick up the bits from a salvage company (shokan coach works, for example) or some other companies online. if you want to build a replica, youll need the rims,front bumper, door blades, chrome mirror caps, etc.

actually, the RS4 (at least in the US) was only available for the b7 model years, so you might not be able to kit out your b6 a4. however, you can pieces for b6 S4 kits, but its not quite the same appearance

Also to add to the above post - if you get a true RS4 kit it's WideBody so you have to do body work to mold out the rear quaters and the back doors. But if you are just doing a replica then you could probably find aftermarket parts for it.

LOL yea most people forget a true RS4 is wide body....most of the "RS4s" people see around here are just rep kits and not full wide body as well.


Where in Bing you from? I grew up there but now live in JC.

If you don't want to pay that much you are definitely looking at Replica Kits.

BUT before you do any modding on the new car I would first take care of maintenance on it. Then you can make a nice looking car that will last. No sense in having a sweet body kit on a car that doesn't run :0)

Hi guys first post on this forum, I have an RS4 B7 replica, and it is based on the B6 platform 2004 1.8T. It is also a Cabriolet. I bought it like this and came with over £10,000 worth of genuine audi receipts. So it can be done but your budget would need to be never ending!
