So i happen to have an entire TII kit in red sitting on my bed. I was going to use it for spares on the drifter but now im considering slopping it on the egi.

I remember gianni saying there was a problem with getting the S5 front bumper on the s4. Just wondering if anyone has done it, or has any experience?
If its a hard job then i don\'t really have the time, but if itsa quick and easy, theres no reason not to!

cheers :D

You\'ve started sleeping with car body parts? Thats just weird mate.

I\'m sure i\'ve read somewere that they will fit. Think its only minor mods to make the bumper fit. Try a google search see what that brings up.

My white FC is a S4 shell and guess what its got a S5 front end on it with no problems at all and fit is perfect. The wings are standard and all the mounting holes are the same.
Where you will run into problems is fitting the S5 lip spoiler onto a S4 bumper.

nice one as always pete.

The question is, do i spray the trim on the bumper black, or spray the trim on the car red?

I personally never tried to fit the bumper myself, it was Craig who said it wouldn\'t fit.. he ended up keeping the front bumper so I never got the chance to try it myself. With the crappy rubber grills off though and a splitter bolted onto the EGi bumper I think it looks pretty bad ass. It\'s all about the splitter and how low it is!

bah, you need to raise the front a bit mate. Slammed is good, but it needs to be flat :D

Going to try lower the back more again I think.. failing that I might bring it up a very very very slight bit.
