S3 Grilles onto A3

[mike.c1979]

Hi all and merry Christmas,

Just a quickie. Does the S3 upper radiator grille and the S3 lower number grille fit into the A3 1.8t?

Cheers

Mike

Radiator grille definitely doesn't, and 99% certainly the lower grille won't fit either.

None of the S3 grills will fit onto an S3 bumper, Only way to fit them is by fitting a S3 bumper onto your a3

****** lol.

What alternatives do we have for the upper grille? I want to change mine, don't like the standard one.

Any ideas on which grilles us non-S3 owners can use for a bit of something different?

I have an ABT upper grill on my a3

Exactly like this grill (not my car btw)

what exactly is it you dont like about the a3 grill? Thought about wrapping the chrome lip and spraying the 4 rings?

I have an OEM S3 style 'de-badged/de-ringed' A3 8L facelift fitment grille for sale.

Exact copy of original grille, minus the rings/chrome. Looks very nice fitted in my opinion....clean & subtle.
