Just got a quick question here. I recently smashed my fender and the body shop naturally wants WAY too much to fix it, so one of the local forum members is nice enough to offer to sell me one. Thing is, it's S4. I've done a little searching and i seems that the S4 fenders will fit, although they have the black rubber strips on the side while the S5 has painted strips.

My question is this: would there be any problems using the S4 fenders and just putting on S5 strips on it? One of them is fine from my old fender, and I can get the other one cheap enough from Mazdatrix.

 

Except for the bumper skins, you ca take the S4 mouldings off and use the S5 mouldings and vice versa.
Just get some automotive double sided tape for the mouldings.
