rs4 widebody conversion non oem

[Just_dizzle]

anyone else hear of the German company called KER Innovatec? Looks like that make a conversion replica rs4 kit that isnt crazy expensive...about 2400USD for the kit in fiberglass that comes with just about everything but shipping...

Someone should order a set, install the body parts, have the car painted and then let all of us know how fitment is. Looks like the best looking replica out there.

[Scotty@Advanced]

i imported a bunch of their early quatto/sport quattro parts and they have good stuff. Shipping will likely increase that cost significantly.

[Austonwerner4]

600 for front fenders. How is the quality of their stuff?

[Gaki]

fiberglass?

I know that it's cheaper, but in this case, with all the work and paint going into it, do you really want to go fiberglass?

I have seen some amazing pieces in fiber glass. It all comes down to the manufacturer, I feel that fiberglass is a good alternative if its done right

[Gujuhammer]

So ballpark for this kit is $2600-$3000 compared to the $10,000-$12,000 you would spend for an OEM kit.

Would the fiberglass kit be easier to install?

[Scotty@Advanced]

Due to the nature of GFRP, I'd probably roll with the glass body panels and get OEM bumpers. It won't take long for a glass bumper to crack and look like ass.

The only truly outrageous prices for the RS4 panels are the rear 1/4's, those alone are half of the 10+ grand cost. There's also alot missing in the KER kit.

Would the fiberglass kit be easier to install?

You won't have to weld anything which could be good or bad. It's certainly not a DIY job.

How are these different then the Seidl? Looks to be the same kit as Seidl offers, besides the rear bumper?

[AdManS4]

Under the b5 RS4 link it says A4.... anyone know is that front bumper would fit well on a s4 with rolled out fenders? My OEM RS4 bumper is cracked and done for :-(

It looks to be fiberglass. The Seidl now uses plastic, far more durable and can be heated to fit the stock car.

Comments about the Seidl kit in the past have been that its really wide, and the rear fenders don't mesh well. They are most definitely different.

Here is a comparison, as our Time Attack B5 uses the Seidl rear arches.

OEM

I see myself doing this in the future.
I already have an oem rs4 front bumper, will get a rear too and then these fiberglass parts

[boostinmr2]

I already have the fender/quarter pieces done - but need to finish the molds on them. I spoke briefly to Max@034 about them - and they may be offered through them in the future.

As I've been really busy with other things, there hasn't been a lot of time on getting these molded up.

Keep in mind bringing anything in from overseas will require significant freight costs + broker fees + duties + yadda yadda.

Keep on the look out in the next couple of months.

I pray that one day there will be a sensible widebody option for us common folk.......

[Trile]

luckily i'm in europe and can always drive to germany some 1000 miles and pick them up :P

[LeighE]

I've been doing an oem build, goes for paint in 2 days time :)

[034Motorsport]

Nice LeighE! What color you going in for?

[LeighE]

Nice LeighE! What color you going in for?

Well, ive got 2 days to decide and so far the favourites are, nogaro blue, suzuka grey or lambo balloon white. Im desperately trying to find Suzuka grey cars too look at. Ive had noggy in mind all through the build though

Not that a Nogaro widebody wouldn't be sick, but why would you go with an OEM color if you're dropping the change to paint the car?

I'd go with a custom color - something that not many [or any] guys have, because then your car will literally be one of a kind. That's just my opinion... but it's your car. Good luck with the rest of the build.

As for the widebody kit... It does look promising. Although like Scotty said, I'd probably go with OEM bumpers and use fiberglass for the rest of the kit. I think the fenders and quarter panels would hold up fine, but I sincerely doubt that those bumpers would take much abuse.

I agree with your opinion but i just cant decide what colour i want. Suggestions welcome and sorry for the hi jack

[Scotty@Advanced]

Seidl rear flares and RS4 front fenders = fail.

[InnyAudi7]

If you go oem color LeighE, you should do Achet grey..

[1dopea4]

achat grey :)

[nthusiastt]

Looks just like siedl which everyone has been aware of for a while. THe cost associated with the rs4 conversion is in the quarters, doors, bumpers, inner fenders, liners, grills, fogs, brackets etc... It's in the accessories. If you want a bare bones panel kit you can get it for about 7k give or take.

[S4 00 2.7]

Very appealing.

[Nez]

Guys don't wast your money on fiberglass if you want Widebody then go for OEM......

This is how OEM will look like:







And this is how fiberglass will look like:

Just check rear archs...

[Turkish]

Make sure to convert the steering wheel to the correct side while you're at it.

:D :P

[MLJS4]

How much is the front fiber glass bumper, ill give it a shot if price is right

[nthusiastt]

^ You're going to be kicking yourself man. Save your money.

[Yesmar]

Oem or it's not worth it.

That just DOES NOT LOOK right. For one the red car needs much wider tires. But the flares just don't flow good with the lines of the B5...

That's true Ben, plus I found a oem one for dirt!!!!! I mean dirt like Joe dirt dirt, k ill stop

[GravyLeg]

That white car's rear looks like the Seidl, not the fiberglass copy of OEM.

[pandacover]

looks good

[LeighE]

That white car is actually for sale at the moment over here in the Uk. He is claiming its full geniune RS4 panels. What a dick. You can see its all fibreglass and just doesnt look right at all. For one they are prefacelift doors so the arch had to have been grafted on there. It did sell for about £1000 gbp though so would make a good project car
That Hibiscus is 100% oem and looks fantastic

Love the car Enes, would love to see it in person. Hopefully I'll be able to catch it at Nurtechnik one of these days. I heard thoughts of a 770 build?

OEM

I personally like the Seidl better. I like the wider look.

So based on my understanding there is no company that sells Seidl kit in the US? And no US company is making this? That's weird because I think there's a market for it.
