Default The front bumper of RS4

I like the front bumper of the RS4 very much and I would like to fit it to my S4. It is not only the look but it should increase the air inlet a lot compared to the stock S4. The problem is the width.
Some tuners like rieger or seidl offer some similar RS bumpers but I donīt like them at all.
Has anyone fitted the original RS4 bumper to his S4? Or is there any other tuner offering exactly the same RS4 bumper which can fit the S4? Please advise!

Default It doesn't fit. You'll need the RS4 fenders to go with the bumper...

then you need the rockers.....

then you need the RS4 rear quarters......

then you need the RS4 rear doors.....

parts = ~ $4,500.....

Go Rieger or Seidl, or be prepared to spend too much on the real thing....

It's really NOT too much, is it?<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10163/GrnRS4.jpg">Do you see the differences between this and your S4?</a></li></ul>

Default there are a couple of guys that have... it's not easy.

I think SilverBullet and maybe LSF have done this. You have to get not only the bumper, but the fenders.. and if you get just the flaired front fenders, you'll look like a moron, so you need to get the read flaired fenders, in addition to the rear bumper and rear doors and gas door. not to mention, it's not bolt on unless you have an avant in the rear. Total cost of parts was quoted a little while ago as around $6k. Anyone care to correct me on this?
