RS4 B8 front wings needed... erm... same as RS5?

Post by EGGBERT » Wed Oct 24, 2018 5:54 pm

Hi all,

I have always been an active watcher on this forum and never really needed to ask a question until now! :boohoo: I am in need of two front wings for my B8 RS4. First question.. maybe a daft one and at first I thought no way but closely comparing the RS4 and RS5 shut lines they look identical as does the bulge? On eBay there are a fair amount of RS5 wings available. If not, where is the cheapest place to source them from?

Thanks in advance :)

The RS4 is wider than the RS5. I'd assume that is reflected in front wings.

8K0821103B and 104B are the part numbers. £500ish plus vat from TPS each new.

There is also about £50 of little parts you need, per wing, unless you drill the rivets and transfer from your old wings.

If buying used, do pay attention to the arch lips for corrosion.

It won’t, it’s an 8T0 part number. :bash: :roll:
