B7 Audi A4/S4 Front Bumper Options

CARPHOTO-5649

A popular question My partner and i get asked is around front bumper “body kits” to the B7 Audi A4 (2005. 5-2008). Not like the Ford Civic, your possibilities are a tad bit more limited in this particular arena, and generally costlier too. Luckily for you, the front bumpers that do exist are very nice looking and fantastic options when you’re fed up with the look of your respective car – pictured above could be the Deval RS4 kit (more on this below), in particular. The most typical swap is for people with the normal A4 without worrying about S-line package deal, as that bumper is among the least desirable. In this kind of post we’ll review the different options around and give an idea of price & attempt involved.

B7 S4 or perhaps S-line Bumper Conversion
S-line/S4 Bumper

Converting any non-sline front bumper a great S-line or perhaps S4 front bumper is probably the most typical options. This procedure uses many OEM parts which is pretty “plug and also play” with regard to a front bumper trade. You need in excess of just the top bumper deal with however – the particular bumper utilizes a different grille and also sidemarkers, together with some addition pieces. You can view more pics of the S4 front bumper by considering my car here. Here is the full directory parts you’ll dependence on the bumper deal with without machine covers (if your vehicle is equipped with headlight washing machine’s, you’ll need a different component number to the bumper deal with, 8E0-807-105-J-GRU, which includes holes slice out to the washers, plus the washer protects, 8E0-955-101-E left and 8E0-955-102-F right). Component list:

8E0807105MGRU – front bumper deal with (S-line/S4)

8E0945072B – Reflector proper
8E0853651M1QP – Radiator grille

DTM S4 Bumper
DTM S4 Bumper

This really is another popular upgrade from either the particular non S-line or perhaps S-line bumper. Just like the S4 bumper alteration, this works by using all OEM parts, so the particular fitment are going to be top notch and the parts widely available. It uses a similar grille as a non-sline A4, if you decide to are originating from this platform you may want fewer parts as well. The negative aspect is that it bumper doesn’t include foglights, if those are important to people. You can see more pics in the DTM package deal by considering this included ride pictured preceding. Here will be the parts you’ll dependence on this:

8E0-807-105-AA-GRU – front bumper deal with

Deval RS4 Top Bumper
Deval RS4 Bumper

The actual Deval bumper attributes an RS4-look. I’ve heard mixed things about the fitment, with almost all owners saying that their body retail outlet spent considerable time to get it look very good. The bumper is fiberglass so it can be adjusted to match well, but virtually any owner I’ve talked to mentioned they wouldn’t take action over again if they had the choice. If you’re alright with spending extra money to get it to suit right, or perhaps okay when it doesn’t suit 100% the right way, this can be a good choice for you. You can have a look at more pictures in the Deval RS4 Top Bumper below. You could also get lucky and possess a bumper that fits superior to average. You can buy the Deval bumper from Eurogear.

Oettinger Top Bumper
Oettinger Bumper

The Oettinger bumper is rare – I’m sure I’ve solely seen several Audis from it on-line, and none personally. Oettinger is a great brand and the fitment is supposed to be quality as well. The negative aspect is that it’s costly and difficult to acquire. It also has a incredibly aggressive search, so My partner and i wouldn’t advise this unless the rest of your vehicle is rather modified far too. Here is another pic in the Oettinger front bumper with a show car that’s at SEMA not too long ago.

Hofele RS4 Bumper
Hofele RS4 Top Bumper

Hofele’s RS4 front bumper is meant to fit a lot better than the Deval a single, and they will look nearly identical. The sole downside is how the Hofele bumper can be much costlier. Damir’s A4 possesses this bumper, and you’ll check out his characteristic for more pics than it. The solely vendor I’ve viewed selling this kind of bumper is LLTek or it is possible to contact Hofele immediately if fascinated. I’ve seen most of these in person and in addition they fit fantastic. You can find this kit from LLtek.

B8 Hofele Bumper
Hofele B8 Top Bumper

Such as the Hofele RS4 Bumper, the B8 bumper looks comfortable but can be fairly high-priced. I don’t think I’ve viewed any pictures with this installed with a car in true to life, except for all those published by LLTek. I’d love to see more pictures with this, and when you see this kind of, email us a pic well, i can write about it below. You can buy more home elevators this kit around the Hofele internet site.

RS-Style Top Bumper

This one is a bit new and also mimics the style of the particular TTRS, which can be kind of neat. Personally I love how it looks on the front, however the side angles style of ruin it in my opinion, as the bottom scoops get noticed too far and give it some a “catfish” search. You could pick this on Amazon, ebay, or some other sites by searching “RS style B7 front bumper”, even though it’s not really totally clear who truly manufactures it, and it runs in between $400-800 with respect to the site you’re looking on. The photo above is removed from a individual in Sweden that documented the full process of installing this kind of bumper and also uploaded a lot of pictures to help Audizine, so I’d suggest considering his thread to determine it from the many angles and make sure you like it before buying…

non s-line bumper having cupra 3rd r lip
Substitute Enhancements/Options

If people don’t can do an entire bumper trade, there are nevertheless plenty of options. Most typical are going with an substitute grille, such as an RS4 grille, or perhaps adding any front lips, such as the Cupra Ur lip. These changes are rather affordable and may make your current existing bumper look much more sleek. You may want to do this as a temporary fix or a permanent a single. Remember with the grilles how the Non S-line and also DTM bumpers share a similar grille, and the S4/RS4 write about a grille – consequently don’t be expecting an RS4 grille to match on any non-sline bumper or perhaps vice versa. Here’s more pictures in the A4 above with a Cupra Ur lip as well as a blacked out grille, which in turn definitely gives some wonderful touches, all for approximately $100.
Where you can Buy…

You’ll be able to source the particular OEM factors above from a local Audi vendor, a useless yard, or other sorts of vendors. The actual aftermarket possibilities depend, so research prices. You also need to check ebay, as it is possible to often discover used parts from dismantlers or away from wrecked cars for inexpensive. Some aftermarket possibilities also show up on ebay, but be mindful of poor bumpers from China and be sure to stick towards the “real deal” bumpers made by quality manufacturers such as those above
