[s-cars] UrS Front Bumper Re-Do

[brian bilotti]

I've been noodling on this for quite some time and feel that it's my 
duty to all you nutcases to see if you wanna make this a reality.

Reason: I have always felt that Audi missed this one. The OE bumper does not befit the animal that lurks beneath it. Yeah it's got flared front 
fenders, woo hooo.. but THAT's it. Our cars are aging and parts are NLA 
but this is one part that would truly give it what it deserves, that 
subtle, sporty look in addition to being functional.

Mission: To make an OE UrS Front bumper that mimics an S2 bumper, read 
lower lip spoiler maintaining the black lower portion to flow with the 
rest of the car. Again, subtle and you don't have to paint the rest of 
the lower part of the car.

How: I have a friend who worked for Champion Motorsport on the S4 
Touring Car, Rs6 Race car. Then Volvo's S60R Race car, and Mazda's ALMS 
car, then on to Dodge Motorsports, as well as consulting other race 
teams. He has his own company that has Reverse Modeling and 3D Laser 
Scanning capabilities. With that, he has the all the resources and 
vendors to DO IT!

Reality: A used/reconditioned (since NLA new) bumper cost is $600/$800...Just saw one on QW for $1600.... 
Ball park, like Superdome sized, cost would be at least $1500 for 10 
units. This is only a feeler to see if that works.
20 units? $1100? Less? Dunno.. This includes original modeling, tooling,
 and production. I'm looking at upfront cost of $2000 for modeling.

Function Dream: This would be an OE quality piece, same materials 
except, and this is important, it would fit the biggest FMIC you could 
throw at it, oil cooler, tranny cooler and brake ducting for all you 
Nutcase ++'s. 

So, how many of you nutcases would wanna see this happen so your Quattrobitch can git sum sexy attitude???
