    RS2 replica bumper

    Hi, im after a front bumper for my s2, not a huge problem to find one, but ive come across this little number for half the price and twice the looks.



    Does any one have any experience with replica bits of this sort or any advice.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUDI-B4-FRONT-...ht_1415wt_1165

    theyre rubbish in all honesty.
    if youre going to get an rs2 rep get a reiger one. do a search on here for more details

      Take a look at this though first before seeking out UK suppliers.

          ^^^^ thats not the bumper i meant. thats an rs4 style bumper. The rs2 rep is just that, a near exact replica aesthetically for the oe item

            Ive read another story where these replica bits dont fit exactly and some major "adjustment" is required, thats what i dont need. Any pointers of anything similar.

                So for the reiger bumpers, are there any uk stockists? For the difference in price im thinking the ebay 1s might be worth a little headache?? My biggest concern is reading about these replica bumpers and people are saying they have used porsche fogs cuz the audi dont fit?

                Should i just stick to a stock s2 bumper??

                  the rs2 uses porsche indicators from the factory. They also fitted them to late spec final edition cabriolets. Have a look at the front of an rs2 and check out the indicators/fogs.
                  Unless you specifically want an rs2 bumper id say just get an s2 one

                      the one you see on ebay is not perfect but if your prepare to fiddle about with it then i recommend it.the good thing about this RS2 style cabrio bumper is that you don't have to buy a new fog's or indicator's,instead you can use your S2 one's.but i had to cut a little because the light would'nt fit.take a look at my one,all ready to fit

                          Anyone know where to find a Reiger front cover with louvered sides?
                          Like the one pictured above?
                          Preferably in the USA.
                          Thanks.

                              brilliant bumper like GT500 said it's made of ABS plastic so it doesn't flex like fibreglass. The only way you can tell mines not an original RS2 bumper is cause I don't have the RS2 washer jets for the headlights. Here's a picture of mine. Looks good if I do say so myself

                              Just some finishing touches to do now
