safety69 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 would like to know if a S3 rear bumper would fit a normal 8l A3. I find the rear of a normal A3 is a bit dull, like the idea of having a S3 bumper and new exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA3 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think this has been covered before, as far as I can remember they won,t look right as also the rear arches are wider as well than a normal A3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Indeed, not without modification because the S3 arches are much more flared than the A3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safety69 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 yeh see what you mean, looking at neighbours S3 i can clearly see its more flared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackyA3 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 hehe take it you were eyeing up the bumper on ebay as well then?! Second hand and sprayed black? Think it went for 160 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodenal Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 They actually fit just fine, the screws at each side hold them in at the right angle and it looks normal too. The only S3 bit that needs modifying to fit is the skirts - front and rear bumpers are a bolt on replacement, even tho the arches on the S3 are a little wider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
