    Well I know there are a few threads on this but have not had any luck finding them. I have the bumpers already including the Fogs, fog grills and upper/lower grills... My only problem is, would I need the struts that hold up the bumper from an S4 or are they the same for the a4? Also on the rear bumper is the polished trim the same or would it be different? If any one has done this swap please help shed some light on this for me as I am lost here and don't want to pull off the bumpers and waste my time etc... Worst case scenario if I can't get the help I will have to attempt it this way..

    Well got the info thanks to diagnosticator over in audizine. Turns out no Mods or replacement parts are needed. The S4 bumpers bolt rite up like an a4 bumper.

    Np! But credit for info should go to diagnosticator... Cant wait to put my bad boys on. Just FYI on the front bumper, you will need the S4 Fogs, fog grills and caps for the washer nozzles (a4 caps can be modified to fit the s4 bumper) other than that just bolt bumpers on...

    I did this swap last year and I'm pretty sure that the chrome bumper trim on the rear bumper is different. IIRC, the S4 trip was shorter and left an opening btw the bumper cover and the trunk. I ended up buying a flat black piece of trim from Genuine Audi Parts
    I also had to adjust the rear shocks in by turning them to get the S4 rear bumper to align perfectly. Here's a link to my post on Audizine
