My first Audi. RS2 from Norway

[andersg]

OEM front bumper and box fresh Votex rear spoiler obtained

[andersg]

I have a Rieger RS2 bumper with carrier included brand new sitting in garage. Probably wont use it because i got my hands on RSR bumper.
RS2 bumper is brand new!

Thank you for the offer, but I think I will have the OEM bumper professionally plastic welded and wait until it's available from Auto Traditon...

Not in April when I asked.

No, it's used but in good shape. No cracks or missing parts.
There is two for sale on German Ebay, one for 2000 euro and one for 2600 euro...

I know they are hard to come by, but I think it's better to get an OEM one in the first place or i'll just regret it.
Fake front bumper on an RS2 is not very atractive IMO

I have found one in Germany for a ridicolous 2000 euro!!!

Is the 2k bumper new?
If I was you I'd buy it. Last year I was in the unfortunate position to be needing a replacement on my car........couldn't get one but thanks to this here forum I managed to get a Reiger one, I'm happy with it but my car is not a genuine RS2. If I was in your position with a genuine car in need of a bumper.......I'd jump on that one for sale.

Original ones are hard to find. As Norway is not a EU country shipping from EU will also add a big cost.
Cheap alternative is a rieger rs2 bumper. rieger partnumber 00039020

also added a link to an old S2 forum post comparing the rieger to an OEM.
I bought the rieger one for my car. I had the mounting profiles only from a crashed car and used those to get the original mounting method and turn/fog mounting bracket fitted. Also drilled the headlight washer holes.

Looking for a new front bumper

[andersg]

Finally got my new lower door trims, got them to the painters straight away, got both the bumpers out as well. The painter sent me a picture today, cracked the rear bumper when mounting...

Thanks all!
I was running the NGK BKR8EIX before Bosch, for now I can't tell the difference. Will propably go back to NGK when it's time to change plugs, due to price.

Yeah I know, I bought the tip ready made and it is a very cheap design. Even tho, the exhaust is probably less restrictive than stock, 3" all the way with racecat and one Apple Racing muffler. Half of it is welded by me, half by a friend who is a welder, he did the tricky bits.

Try BKR7EIX or BKR8EIX.

Very nice exhaust on this, but there is a restrictor in the back where the dual tip starts.

Very good to hear you solved the problem.

Regarding the spark plugs, I also prefer to use BOSCH on the RS2, tried NGK PFR7B (?) these should be the same as the original bosch-one's, and it works, but I feel I lost some of the torque after the turbo spools up. So I bought new ones, once again and changed back to Bosch with the number: (IRIDIUM F5DPOR) on mine, and are happy with these. These should be same as the OEM ones for the car. I never changed the gap on OEM plugs.
