    Best Aftermarket/other Audi Front Bumper replacements?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello, my front bumper on my 2001 b5 a4 quattro 1.8t is damaged and simply just falling apart. I am curious what aftermarket bumpers you all have tried that fit the body lines well and look great. Or if finding a stock b5 a4 front bumper is an easier way to go about this. I am also curious how well an s4 bumper would fit onto an a4 body and if that is a possible way to go about replacing this front bumper. Thank you.

    the s4 bumber goes on the same way as the stock a4 and might look better depending on whos looking.. I would check your local yard, LKQ has inventory online nowadays if your close to one. Might be easier then paying huge shipping fees on bumpers and u might get lucky and find the same color code..

    I smacked my b5 like 4 times thru out my ownership and took my bumper somhow everytime.. just by looking at it ud never know its been in an accident.

    In the process of finalizing a Rieger bumper fitment with out the need for a butchered stock bumper. It's expensive at $500-700 shipped, but I used the opportunity to shed about 30 pounds from the front of my A4. 2018-12 Bumper Install (6).jpg2019-01 Bumper Install (10).jpg2019-02 Bumper Install (16).jpg2019-02 Bumper Install (11).jpg2019-02 Bumper Install (12).jpg2018-07 Rieger Bumper (1).jpg

    that thing looks amazing! and 30lbs up front! wow... how difficult was it to get the fitment spot on? require parts from back of stock bumper? and it looks like it will leave more room for a FMIC in the future than OEM :)

    It will leave a lot more room over stock A4 bumper. Nothing was difficult, just time consuming at most. Measure twice, cut\drill once. Nothing from the stock bumper was retained for my mounting design, just using hollow aluminum block up front\center, and aluminum flat bar on sides cut and bent to shape.
