Arrow What bumpers?

Hi guys,

Bit new to Audi's

But ive just bought an Audi 80 Cabriolet.

Having looked around at a few different ones, there seem to be a few different variety's of front bumper.

What are my choices here, as id like a new one. A sort of Deeper one, But nothing body kit wise, or anything crap like that.

Just, better looking but still OEM.

Anyone help me out? As i cant just google "Audi 80 bumper" any more! lol

You can fit a bumper from a Coupe, Cabriolet, 80 (s2 style) or from a final addition cabriolet (RS2 style)

As above, but I would forget the 4 and 5 cylinder options and the later half rs2 job.
Look for the v6 or the s2 as they will give you the depth and style you crave without any bodykit look.
The v6 coupe and s2 are basically the same unit but with the s2 version having lamp wash jets built in

I agree, V6 bumper looks best.

Can i just bring this thread back to life.

Im in the process of getting this 80 b4 sport.

And i want to change the bumpers. I thought it was just the front one that was different to my cabrio, but its the rear as well. As the ones of this have a black strip through.

So my question is,

Will cabrio bumpers fit a saloon? the front AND the rear? As i think the cabrio ones look better.

ALSO im trying to sorce which front bumper it is that has the sort of, stuck out chin. Is that just the V6 ones? Ive seen on ebay a latvian company make pattern ones, but my concern is they will be terribly made.

Any thought and advice?

As i think its the bumper shape that can make or brake an 80!

Cheers

EDIT:

Basically, the current bumpers on the car are this...






And i would like them to be this....

Is this the kind of look you are going for?

Front is definitely S2 and I believe the rear is S2 coupe but I might be wrong..

Cabriolet and coupe rear bumpers don't fit saloon / estate cars. Front bumpers fit pretty much through out the range (B4)

Ive still got a RS2 style cabriolet front bumper for sale if you are interested.

Yes on the front, no on the rear in that link!

Although on a darker coloured car i guess that back one wouldnt matter.

The front one is what im after! YES!
