I got a negative reply off everyone when I went down this road a few months ago and decided on the Hofele front bumper conversion. It is fitted now but the pics are too large for upload but I have a piccy off their webpage and apart from the wheels exactly the same.
Painter said it was the best after-market kit he had ever seen.

If you go down the original parts you could be left with expensive bits on your hands.

These fit.

Think the new front end looks mint. just can't afford 2 buy a new 1 got about 11,000 for my car at the min but mite wait till early nxt year 2 get 1. think i'll end up with a 04 2.0l tdi sport black, silver or red even though dolphin grey looks nice.

This is my 53 plate 2.0 TDI with the Hofele front bumper and Team Dynamics wheels. It has a 185 bhp re-map also.

looks awesomes. not over top like some, just right. what you pay for your A3. what u reckon to the overall drive. mate told me 2 go for a 2.0l petrol but u just can't get the mileage and there so much torque in a diesel. i want the rs4 alloys.

I paid 13 grand exactly 12 months ago with 7,500 on the clock. absolute givaway. Allways fancied the full frame front but most of my questions went unanswered so I went for the Hofele and have not looked back.

I am going to take a chance and get the new S3 side skirts, rear valance and roof spoiler. I hope they fit There is a new S3 in Chester Audi's showroom and I have weighed it up and am confident they will all fit

Hi. Your car does look awesome! I've actually purchased the same bumber for my audi a3 on a 1998 reg. I've had it fitted now and just awaiting delivery of the grille.However, the gap between the space where the grille fits and the thik metal rod that runs along the front end of the car (to protect the radiator etc) has left little gap for the grille to fit. I was just wondering whether you had the same situation?
