rieger rs4 bumper install on S4 (B5)
I got the old model rieger rs4 bumper for my B%and am looking for anyone with installation directions or pictures. It looks like the side mounts from the original bumper need to be cut to fit the vents, etc. on the rieger. I'm also not sure where exactly the rivets and screws go they sent with the bumper. If no directions, know a number of someone who has done this and is willing to speak with me by phone?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I also got an old version Reiger front that was going to have the body shop that is painting it
mount it, since they're only charging like $50 extra. and I don't have a rivet gun. Isn't there some guy in Chicago that fabed a very easy and user friendly mounting system for the Reiger front bumpers on our car. Any info on this?

Haha, god i knew this thread would bring someone to say it!! I am still baffled why everyone on this
forum hates Reiger. Its affordable, looks good and you don't have to spend $ to get the fenders to line up. Win win situation in my opinion, especially if your in my shoes where you hardly have any money to begin w/

I installed one on my old S4...
You have to job off a couple (3 OR 4) big piles of glue on the bumper support before you put the Reiger on- you're looking for it to not only make contact between support and bumper skin but to squeeze out to adjoining areas. Then tape it in it's prescribed place with masking tape till the glue dries. Once the glue is dry, leave the tape in place and drill a few holes in the wheelwells (I made 3 in each side) that are the correct size for some of those black expanding fasteners- I got some from my local honda motorsports dealer, they were the same "push the smaller piece inside the bigger piece and it will expand" fasteners they had on my trx 450r quad, they're cheap too. And I ride dirtbikes now, not quads for the record. Put 3 of those fasteners in on each wheelwell, don't worry about trimming oem bumper mounts, throw screws and rivets in the trash and call it done. Send me your email if you wanna chat about the install.
