Aftermarket S5 body kit - Sydney area

[Mullin]

Hi all,

I am in the process of purchasing an S5 and am interested in an aftermarket body kit along the lines of this:

Can anyone give me some information on suppliers, stock availability and possibly pricing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately won't have any more pics unless someone can help me with a place that can hook it up.

I actually live in Perth, but there's only one Audi dealership here and they act accordingly... so I think I'll pick one up when I'm in Sydney next month when I'm there and would have thought there'd be more options for finding a body kit there.

Can anyone help?

When I lived in Perth there was a guy in Subiaco that sold all sorts of body kits, bit pricey but a good job, not sure who did the work for him or if he is still there.

Either way a Reiger kit like that is going to be pricey.

I would consider importing from the US yourself and getting a reputable shop to do the paint install.

Great, thanks.

I also heard that there is often a drama with suspension when installing aftermarket body kits ie. they look terrible without the car being lowered. Any advice on that front?

And yes, I am aware that I am a complete noob at this... feel free to poke fun, laugh at and degrade my total noob-ity whilst informing me :)

yes, the deeper bars and skirts that come with aftermarket kits will probably make the car look very funny without lowered suspension.

Give the guys at www.carshine.com.au a go - they are in Melbourne though.

TCCA Motorsport in Artarmon (Sydney) were the official REIGER importers - worth a shot.
