hi everyone im new to the a3 scene . i was wondering if a 2012 s3 front bumper will fit my 2003 newer shape a3 . i have read i will need to chane the bonnet and cut the support bar but is that it ? thanks
If its from an 8P, not an 8V, then yes, its possible. Have a search, lots of info, prices, part numbers etc.
But basically, you need bonnet, wings, lights, bumper, un sure on crash bar.
Dont think anyone has tried to face lift an 8P to an 8V. Being a different chassis, i cant see it being bolt on.
You can fit upto 2009 (i think) bumper, with just a bonnet swap.
There are some grille conversions for the old bumpers, but only to try and make it look like 8P2, not 8P3.
ok cool so i should try get a pre 2008 s3 bumper if i only want to change the bonnetYou can fit the 04-08 bumpers onto your car and would need to change the bonnet at the same time. That includes the sline or s3. That will save you from changing your lights, wings etc
