SGI in DE Lists it for 49E

Shipping would cost and you would need a RS2 bumper (maybe a replica but I would be worried about mounting the chin to FG). The owner of the red car is on S2 forum, search there for a build thread.
Dont care for the paint but the SQ-esque hood looks cool<ul><li><a href="http://www.sgi-online.de/de/sites/Home/Tuning/Modelle/B4/front/anbau/b4_front07.html">Frame from the SGI site with the chin</a></li></ul>

Nowhere CLOSE to the same design or aerodymics as DR's carbon fiber one!
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/711/luftintag2.jpg"></center><p>
There's half a dozen or so imitation chins out there but nowhere close to the "real deal" from Dahlback which was developed in the wind tunnel and adjustable for angle-of-attack.
SGI on the other hand makes "clown-suit" knock-off imitations. Meant only to create or loosely copy a "look" rather than achieve any real functional benefit. Most of their stuff is designed to be "glued over" existing front/rear bumpers and side moldings rather "replace" them. If you look at any/all of SGI's offerings they're really not very well made in that they are always thin/flimsy fiberglas and they're always a short of the mark on aesthetics, ie; they just don't "look right." They've been around since the early-to-mid 80's but I've never been crazy-mad-head-over-heels-gah-gah about anything they've offered even when sometimes it was the only alternative out there. I inherited a 2000 TT SGI rear spoiler once for free brand new/unused. I hated it so bad I passed it along to someone else and never mounted it. And the person I gave it to never mounted it either tho I have no idea what he ever did with it. It was just plain ugly!
I've had an eye out for one of Dalback's for nigh on 5 years and nary a single one that was intact/un-wrecked has ever appeared via Euro or UK Ebay. And even tho Tot's wouldn't sell to me I've never seen them trying to part with one either tho they have had a few over the years.
Additionally it's the RS2 "imitation" bumper's mesh/lattice opening covers that are 49E at the SGI site while the chin spoiler is 149E.

I have been looking for a similar thing for a while...
...here is a picture of it. It might even be the same thing. I assumed it was custom made.
