How much did Awesome GTI charge you to change the exhaust over?
Thanks
Ian
That looks the business Marc
hi do you know if this works on a b5 a4
Well had you posted this two weeks ago I would have given you my old one when I fitted my Milltek.
Ian, they quoted me 1 hours labour to fit just the exhaust (£50). However I forgot to bring the mounting bracket for the rear right hanger, so they had to fabricate one, then realine. Also had to mess about with my awkward parking sensors and remove the rear valance and fit the new one, so in the end it was over 3 hours (which cost me £200 + VAT)
If you plan to do it, remember to buy the rear right heatshield and mounting bracket (unless you're quattro), then pick up an exhaust cheap on Ebay and you're good to go, once you've decided on your valance choice.
Personally I'd fit it yourself provided you can get under the car sufficiently and safely. You just undo the jubilee clip after the cat and attach the new one. Shouldn't take too long really. It's the valance that takes a while, depending on whether you want to keep the old one in perfect shape.
Sorry to bark on, give me a shout if you need any more info, I researched this pretty thoroughly before taking the plung. It's no Milltek obviously, but miles better then the standard hidden tips.
Are you FWD or quattro?
Hmmm adds up doesn't it, mine is a FWD.
@ Marc1
Do you have any before pics of the rear before the replacement valance was fitted?
Did you replace the whole lower rear valance, or just the centre black bit? On mine the whole lower rear valance would need to be changed.
I really want to do this, but am so skint after my engine rebuild it will have to be done on a mega budget.
As no_idea says, your existing bumper will be in two halves, the lower just clips on and you should be able to replaced it with the S line lower.
Part numbers and dealership prices (from Aug-08):-
Avant Valance - 8E9 807 521G GRU £134.66 inc vat
Saloon Valance - 8E5 807 521 G GRU £137.28 inc VAT
Black centre Decal - 8E9 807 800A - £16.96 inc vat
Here's a before and after picture (a bit small, I can send you larger if you need any). I don't have one with the lower removed unfortunately.
It'll be a nice mod for you as you only really need new tips for the look, I know you've had to fork out bigtime recently though - how is the new engine running in now BTW?
Keep your eye's open on Ebay and Ebay.de. They do come up at varying prices. Might be as well to save a seach for salvage A4's too in case you can get one from a car like docurley's.
Does anyone know if this will fit mine?

EDIT: I think to fit an S-Line rear valance I would need to colour code it, along with the side sills and also the front lower bumper
Already spotted thanks
I was looking for the S-Line front for ages and ended up going for an ABT front spoiler from stafford audi (the nearest thing i could find and really good quality and fit), the lines are very similar and seems to match very well to the S-Line rear I just purchased.Yeah this is when it all starts to add up! And now isn't good time with what I have spent in the last few weeks!
Does anyone have a picture of an S-Line front bumper? I could maybe just run with an S-Line rear bumper and standard front for a while, would make sense to get it all painted at the same time though
Looking for a standard rear valance with the twin exits initially I think. Maybe.
