get a new front, such as a Rieger or an OEM S4 front.

Default I would loose it...
Too rounded looking...

My suggestion is to go stock S4 front and rear... and just keep the sides.

The RS4 fronts I've seen up close seem weak on quality.

Or you can put the stock bumper back on and do the Oettenger lip spoiler...

Default I think its $450-500 ish from PES.
Call Tony next week... he is on vacation. I think they may have some in stock. That have been quite popular.

I will tell you this... It clips on, and also requires glue... so once its attached... its permanent.

Ultimately, CEC is the importer for Oettenger.

I agree. S4 front looks much nicer. The current one doesn't look like it belongs on an A4.
