Sorry for my lack of german, but i decided to post the result of my latest mod. Maybe others wondered aswell what the RS5 valence would look like on the A4/S4.

Sadly it isn't plug and play. You need to modify your S-line bumper as there will be a gap between the valence and bumper on the side.

A non s-line bumper won't work or at least it won't look that good as the body line will not look good as seen on my original test.

Some pictures of what needs modification on the s-line bumper.

Since the RS5 valence isn't intended to be used on the A/S4 B8 it didn't had clips to hold it in place. I had to screw it (a lot) as seen.

Also the valence was sticking out along the s-line 'lip' about 1.5-2mm, i decided to extrude the lip so it is flat with the valence.

It took me about 4h i think for bought sides and the lip, but i took my time. It might not be ideally, regarding the way the valence lip exits into the bumper but overall i'm very happy.

Decided not to fully follow the contour of the lip if you understand.

Sadly i wasn't able to find bigger and better fitting exhaust tips (that didn't cost an legg and arm).

One could always go for the fake RS5 stick-on tips.

I know my previous mod, RS5 front grill on A4/S4 B8 has been mentioned here aswell, but for those who missed it.

Like the rear bumper, the front bumper also needs small adjustments to make it fit.
