Hey guys, looking for a bit of help.
My A3 is currently in a bodyshop recommended by Audi (so they should know the cars well) for the S Line front conversion. I shopped around and they quoted a very good price compared to some others, so the car went in last week.
It's an 04 plate Sport with the split grill. I purchased a complete front S Line bumper from a 2006 car, and having got the inspiration from Ads thread, thought it would be a straight swap, along with a new bonnet..
Today they have called and said that the bumper will not fit on the car, and that it's an issue with the cross beam..... As far as I know if you are going to do an S3 conversion you have to cut either side of impact bar (or whatever it's called), but this shouldn't be an issue with the S Line bumper. They have said they can take the cross beam off but I will apparently have to sign to agree to this? (Not gonna lie.. am not sure what they mean by a cross beam, lol).
I'm heading over there tomorrow to take a look but would be good if anyone could give me some advice.
Many thanks,
Chris
