I have a 2005 A4 that I would like to add some genuine S4 mods to. I would like increased performance and just a hint of the S4 look. Wheels, front fascia etc. Suggestions welcome

 

Welcome to TS! You're probably not gonna get too many detailed ideas for S4 mods around here I'm afraid. Is it the facelift model? I had a B6 S4 ages ago and always loved the door blade type thingies that made it look a lot wider than the A4s.

Although my first mod on any A4 would be the brakes if you haven't done them already - they are downright dangerously bad on all the loaners I've had over the years.

 

Lamp.

 

S4 side skirts and aluminum mirror housings are always a nice touch. A little lip on the trunk is also very tasteful while added some aggression. Not sure whether you would want to do a full changing bumper but that is also a possibility. If not, the Cupra R lip is an OEM VWAG part that will screw into the bottom of the bumper with some slight modification for a more angular look. If you have a B6 2005 model, I believe the S4 styled grill should be a direct fit. But if it's a B7 platform starting in 2005.5 then you would need to get an aftermarket replica (unless your A4 is S-line in which case it should fit).

As for performance, APR has good stuff for ECU upgrades, Intake, Exhaust and such. Stasis is also a notable tuning company for any Audi.

For handling I would suggest bilstein pss9 and I'm sure you can find someone selling their S4 wheels online. VRM is a wheel company that makes a couple of good Audi replicas if you want them new and are looking to save a little.

 

Thanks Carmine914 mine is a 6 speed manual which I think means it is a B7 unless I am mistaken. I was thinking APR for performance mods as I can use them across the board and won't have to shop around much.

 

 

Thanks Jox I am happy to be here. I am looking forward to talking with some other Audi owners. I love my A4 she is a beauty. Good tip on the brakes too! I will be making a switch soon. Do they make Brembo 6 pistons that will fit?

 

If you have the big single grill up front like the one in my user pic it's a b7. If the bumper cuts through the grill it's a B6. The back tail lights of the B7 also continue into the trunk-lid if your still unsure.

And how can i forget about Turbo upgrades?! (must be because I drive the barely tunable 3.2)

 

For the money you'll waste on trying to mod the A4, sell it and buy a used B7 S4.

 

You can potentially modify the A4 to become faster than the S4 with a quality Stage 3 kit. PM me if you have any questions. What are you looking to spend on the car?
