Second post here - thanks for the feedback on the first, much appreciated.
So, I couldn't find an S-Line with all the options I want and therefore I bought a Sport and thought i'd upgrade it a bit. The first thing to tackle was the roof spoiler - nice and easy i thought...
Bought a replica S-Line spoiler from ebay. It arrived and didn't look much like the real deal, so I sold it on ebay and got the same money for it, so no harm done. Next i contacted my local Audi dealer, sent them photos of the S-Line spoiler just to make sure there was no confusion and they ordered it in for me. When it arrived I was a bit sceptical because the brake light wasn't built in. Stupidly I took it to my local bodyshop, had it sprayed and fitted and only then paid a good amount of attention to it....
Audi had accidentally supplied what they call an 'accessory' spoiler, which sticks onto the standard car's existing roof piece. It doesn't look terrible but it does look like a fairly cheap add on when you take a second glance at it.
Soooo...i straighten it out with Audi and they have the real S-Line spoiler waiting for me now. Only problem is they say the tailgate needs drilling because the sport tailgate doesn't have the holes that the S-Line has. THey won't do the fitting unless the can disassemble an S-Line to look at it. I'm a bit worried about getting my local bodyshop to do it because I seriously doubt they've done this job before.
Does anyone know how to fit a genuine S-Line roof spoiler to a Sport and if so please can they reply with instructions that i can give to the bodyshop?
Cheers,
Jimbo
