[s-cars] UrS Front Bumper Re-Do

[Jeremiah Curry]

could it get rid of the trim between the bumper and grill?  If so I might be 
interested. Though getting the better half to buy off on that type of 
investment may be difficult ;)

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???
95 90 Project when?
95 S6 Avant 1sicwgn
93 S4 Edwin - ...gone but not forgotten...
