Why not just go the whole hock and buy an RS3 conversion kit for the Front and then later start changing the back end .Now i will let you know it is pricey to do but once done it looks Sh*t hot .

S3 Side Skirts: http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/s3-side-skirt-on-a3-s-line-black-edition.348133/

Rear Diffuser: Check eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENU...uattro&hash=item2f0bcb3928:g:cnsAAOSw2FxZw4Bh

The S3 is lower than the S-Line, I think by 10mm

Does the old s line diffuser just pops out couple screws ? And replace direct fit with s3 diffuser ?

Dunno, my S3 already has the diffuser - there is several threads on here that detail it. Read some of the build threads - there is a wealth of information here.

The following aren't for S3 diffusers but RS3 - similar process through.

It's not cheap but it can be done. Audi of America refuses to import anything sexy from Europe so we have to import all the parts for the conversion. I would start at a local breakers and then look for used parts online. Quite a bit of parts around if you look as the 8P is getting old in the tooth
