Just have to keep looking I'm afraid! Try looking for cars that are being broken.

Th bumper should be a straight swap but you'll need new foglights as well

Don't forget before and after photos!

For all the time you're wasting its also costing money, time is money whichever way you cut it, just buy from the dealer job done.

most of the broken ones need a repair anyway

oh happy days then i got the grille painted gloss black and looks sweet didnt really wanna get rid of that but i have seen some other a3's with black grilles but different? what is all that about?

 

[FranA3]

what do you mean different ??audi do a black optics grill its not painted its black plastic i think is that what you mean

 

[marnie2k]

look this is my car now with the grille i got painted

some grilles i see have a slightly different grille? but im not sure was hoping some one good guide me a little? i think the ones i may have seen have larger or smaller holes ...

 

[FranA3]

got some pics for you of different grills first is the black optics s-line grill second is the fk automotive aftermarket grill and the third is the s3 grill

 

[marnie2k]

aaaaaaaaaa i see so its nothing do to with old or new just what ever style you prefer yourself thanks for that mate

Yeah thats because yours is the standard grille with many slats. The black optics Audi one has less vertical slats so the holes in it are bigger (as fran shows in his pic) The S3 one has even less with thicker plastic making up the slats. If you look at the pics you will see why.

I have the FK one, its a replica based on the S3 Black optics design but fits the normal bumpers (Any S3 grille will only fit the S3 bumper directly)

i understand this now thanks a lot guys

 

[FranA3]

no probs mate glad to help

 

[marnie2k]

[FranA3]
