OK, cool.  I hope my answer is educational for some others, as the
question "what's an urQ?" comes up periodically.

I doubt it.  Audi Sport's wide works body panels (as used on the 2nd
generation rally cars) aren't even that wide.  Also, the works panels
have some vents ahead of the rear wheel well.  I don't know the specific
history of the car, but the bodywork is a one-off custom job for sure.
The front and rear bumper valances are US-spec units, but modified to fit
with the wide flares.

Personally, I think those flares are too wide.  They dominate the looks
of the car and distracts from the lines.
