    Best aftermarket front bumper for b7 s4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Recently slid in a rather large rock and now I need a new front bumper. Any recommendations on what to pick up? I have always been a big fan of the DTM but I want to stay away from ebay.

    I prefer the RS 4 bumper to the DTM (either OEM paired with RS4 front fenders, or Deval which is made for the S4's narrowbody). The Deval may require a little work to fit 100%, but it fits great on my friend's car. Both DTM and RS4 are an improvement over stock in my opinion.

    I don't understand the eBay comment though; it's just a marketplace. Buy it from wherever you can get the best price.

    Stock S4, or DTM is probably your only options that would look good and not out of place. There's also RS replica front bumper that A4 guys put on from time to time, but IMHO without widebody it just doesn't cut it.

    I've decided to get both the dtm front and rear bumper. Are ECS tuning and audiwholesaleparts my two best options?

    Probably. I would try Deutsche auto parts. if you do try them you will need to call them though and have part numbers for them. i think ECS was running a sale on the front.

    I have the Deval front..fitment was so so but my auto body guy got it to work with not much fuss. The only thing is the washer ports. My guy could nto get them to work and if you take a look on how they are supposed to mount..just don't go there. I like the look of the RS front and don't care what the haters think. Don't get the deval side skirts. fitment and finish sucked

    It's just a replica of the OEM RS4 bumper except for being narrower to meet the fenders, so it basically looks the same... but here is a picture of the Deval on my friend's car. He purchased/installed the OEM RS4 fog grilles after these photos were taken, but you get the idea.



    Please excuse the horrible Photoshop job.

    This is impressive! I am looking for a new front/rear bumper for my S4 since the originals have a decade of abuse on them... this makes me think the Deval front with the DTM rear would be a great choice.
