Audi A3 Grill Swap

[edwinp95]

Hey all, new to the forum, just had a quick question: How do I know if my '08 Audi A3 is a facelift model or not? I want to change up the grill to an RS style grill. I will include a picture of mine, if it helps. Thanks!

Facelift models were introduced in 2008 at some point, by your picture it looks like pre facelift

Going my another post a while while back i am sure if you check the Vin number and see what it ends in should tell you when registered which in turn should tell you if pre or facelift ie mines is a 59 but vin 00000000000010 registered 2010 hope this helps

Wish I’d got mine without rings

Its not to hard to remove the rings little bit off time and effort will take them off
