Hey guys

I was just wondering if the S3`s front bumper fit A3`s front section without modification?
 
wings are wider on an S3 so not really
 
just buy the s3 front wings too, all bolt on so no big issue

well it is issue if you wanna put wings of S3 to A3. Problem is below the threshold of the mount there is different because A3 dont have same front completion of the thresholds - have that in mind.

... bumper from S3 to A3 looks like this ...

The s3 bumper looks to fit a lot more snug than the standard a3 bumper that's the only thing I don't like about my car there is a few ml gap between headlights and bonnet. May get one myself
 
Fits no problem... I have s3 front and back bumpers on my a3 1.8t. Not a problem at all! Only issue is tht inner arch liners dnt quite match up to bumpers but not a issue really.
Heres mine

i dont see how the gap between the bonnet and headlights is anything to do with an S3 bumper fitment
 
Just bumper fit in general but with the on the s3 bumpers on an a3 that I've seen they are all nice and tight with hardly any gap I've got a good few mm gap on mine s&@t bumper maybe definitely s&@t fitting
 
Ok I can get new ones how about the bonnet though that had the same gap... I'll upload a clear pic now I'm sure the bloke I bought it off said he upgraded to OE parts but he could be lying..
If you see it's the same matching up to the arch...

Those headlights are the problem at the front.

The reason it doesn't meet the wing properly is because of the guides under the bumper being distorted.
 
Ahh I've had it off today cut the plates behind properly the top and side fits nicely now but underneath is a nice big gap lol they are depo headlights. So I have to order another set then..

As you can see the huge gap at the top before and after I re aligned them still a HUGE gap underneath though. Sorry to go on and hijack your thread haha
