S3 front grill... would it?

[imported_alecblack]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if an S3 front grill(the top grill with the audi badge on it) would fit on a standard A3 grill?

cheers in advance

No, the S3 grille is larger than the A3

cheers Garth

do you know if the front bumper would
have to be removed to replace this part as i may put another aftermarket one on.

There are 4 push rivets at the front under the bonnet, and about 4 screws in each wheel arch and 2 screws underneath at the front. Remove all those, then peel the lip from the arches and then slide it forward.
