<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17876/rs4.jpg"></center><p>
Does this look right to you? Does this happen due to our car not having wide body? How many have actualy done OEM RS4 conversion from Achtuning?<ul><li><a href="http://www.achtuning.com/rs4frontbumper.html">http://www.achtuning.com/rs4frontbumper.html</a</li></ul>

Default you mean you dont think that a bumper made for a vehicle with wider fenders...

wouldn't flex when you are exposing it to parts that it is not made for?

Default So I was right? That is the result of the flex? [m]

I'm the type that needs to have his car be perfect to the last inch. I don't like Riger and SGI's cheap bulit quality. Untill now, I though ABT and Oettiger were my only options. But when I saw the OEM RS4 front, I had my mind set on it. What do you think?

Default Yes, it is the result of flex.

But apparently, it's easily solved by cutting slits where it bows out...this will allow a little overlap, which should relieve the bowing. Seems easy enough...but who knows. If I were you, I'd go with the RS4....it can be "coerced" to fit well, if you have the right bodyshop. If you bought/buy it from Josh@Achtuning, I'm sure he'll let you in on all the little secrets to get it to fit perfectly. Good luck!
