Title: S4 and S5 Bodywork
Post by: lee-bo on September 23, 2015, 02:51:44 PM
I have an S4 Turbo FC and want to put an S5 Front and rear bumper, and Turbo 2 sideskirts on. Now ive been trying to do searches regarding whether they are a simple bolt on, or if the actual shape of the bumpers/sideskirts are different/compatable etc, but the search results don't bring any specific answers? Some say 'yes' they are identical apart from the painting, and others say the bolt patterns/mountings are different? 

Now I know the S4 has the black bumper trims, and the S5 is colour coded, BUT is that the only difference - will the S5 bumpers just bolt straight on? Will the turbo 2 sideskirts bolt straight onto an S4?

Sorry for the stupid questions, I hope im not the only 1 with this experience!

Hi Lee,

Real sorry nobody got back to you :(.

As far I know if you find the parts from a TII hardtop you should find all the parts described are interchangeable.

I do know the parts from the Cabriolet won't fit.

Hope this helps

The Mazda system shows different part numbers but this could be the trim insert that goes around the bumper.

I would have thought one would fit the other.

Hi Lee,

Did you manage to fit the 'vert bumper on the coupe?  They look the same as the coupe.  I know that the shape of the molding is different between the S4 and S5, not just black vs. color coded.

As far as I can work out, the whole S5 TII kit should fit on an S4.  The bumpers just bolt up, but I'm not sure on the door trim as I never removed them when I had an S4.

As Clive said, the 'vert has different tail lights and no side skirts, but the rest I believe to be compatible.
