Hello,
I have my A4 B6 Convertible for around 2 years now and looking at some threads about the above conversion, I decided to go down that road myself. Considering having quite a few stone chips and small dents all round, I thought it may be worth doing the conversion along with a full respray (or vinyl wrap). I just love the agressive look of the B7 RS4. Had an overall look at the OEM parts and they seem quite pricey here in the UK therefore I started an extensive research in my home country. At this stage, I gathered 70% of OEM parts and I was able to purchase them at very reasonable prices. So far I have:
1) RS4 front bumper with fog lights and grilles.
2) Front B7 slam panel complete with radiators and piping.
3) Rear RS4 Convertible bumper with bottom grille.
4) B7 LED headlights.
5) B7 tail lights.
I'm still searching for front fenders and side skirts. I've had a quote from TPS for both and the fenders seem quite expensive at £300+ each (considering the fact they are made from aluminium), side skirts are priced at £127 each, which does not make them too expensive. Just ordered the B7 bonnet at £150 and waiting for it to be delivered to my home address in my country, then I'll put all the parts together and ship them over here.
I managed to find a company doing fibreglass parts for the RS4 conversion in the UK and if I won't manage to find the fenders and side skirts, I'll get the fibreglass moulded parts from them. My only worry is, they may not sit 100% flush with the rest of the body. They also do rear arch fibreglass extensions which I need to make the body kit wide.
What's next? Nice 19' RS4 wheels, decent exhaust (I will need some advice on that), RS4 steering wheel, rear 30mm & front 25mm wheel spacers and of course pick the colour. I really like the ocean blue satin matte.
I know it seems a very long and pricey process and a lot of people won't think the same way I do, but I'm hoping for a good result at the end of the journey.
I will keep you guys updated on the progress along with the pictures, so hope you'll guys enjoy my post and pics and, what's most important, the result. Keep safe and feel free to subscribe to the thread.
