Hey guys I own an Audi A3 1.9 TDI (57 plate) and I'm wondering if it's a facelift model or not? As it loos the same? And I'm wondering if a facelift bumper/ grill will fit on it? As the lights and groom look to be the same shape. The two eBay picture are the bumper and grill I'd like to put on the car

Does your car have side indicators in the wings?

You have what's known on here as a 8P2 (06-07), same as me.

8P1 is the split front grill and is easy to upgrade as 8P2 bumpers will fit.

8P2 though is a big job to put a 8P3 (08-13) front end on, need bumper, wings, bonnet, lights and fogs. Not impossible but very costly.

You can get RS style grills for yours though straight swap

Hope that makes sense

Not the one you posted unfortunately, looks the same but it is in fact different. Have to get one up to 2007 (preface lift)
