Do A3 8v parts fit S3 8v ??

[kingsley190]

Hi,
New to all this but would like to know if a3 8v front bumper and wings(fenders) fit the s3 8v model? many thanks in advance

Would think so.

Are you looking to make an S3 street sleeper ?

Most likely between the same variant, eg A3 SB and S3 SB.

But the Saloon has many different panels and dimensions to the HB/SB.

Good point V8.

Expect the saloon to be unique front end and possibly slightly wider to accommodate the 19 without those silly little plastic bits on the wheel arches to meet legal tyre coverage. Hatch and S/B should be interchangeable forward of the door I'd imagine.

Nah no sleeper I've got an S3 8va with dents on both front wing and front bumper and got quoted £550 to repair thought was abit steep tbh so thought could swap out for a3 parts

Very soft and easily dented, these aluminium panels !

Those plastic deformable wings on the Evoque are the way forward, IMO.
