Keep in mind that the S3 is only offered in a 2 door model; so if you've got a 4 door A3 the sideskirts and rear bumper will not fit. The back end of the S3 and I think any 2 door A3 is different than the 4 door.

The front bumper assembly will fit, the grill will fit in the stock A3 bumper (with a small gap at the bottom), the chrome mirror caps can be ordered from the site Izzy linked to, and I'm not sure about the spoiler -- I didn't realize it was different than the stock S-Line spoiler.

like bamf said, they won't fit the 5 door A3.

i don't know the shipping. my research ended when i saw the $745 price tag. best to call or email Oempl.

As most have said, the bumper will fit, but you will also need the S3 grill as stock grill will not fit the S3 bumper. Most of us who got the S3 front went with votex sides. Matches pretty nicely. I have kept my rear bumper stock sline with painted diffuser.

ELTONSI Thanks but the link dont work fella.
It should, but if it doesn't, do a search in vortex A3 forum in the archieve under my user name, and you will find a couple posts about the S3 bumper.

Hi guys got in touch with the chaps who sell s3 stuff.

Few questions for you,

They said to fit s3 side skirts to the a3 it might need new carriers?? Anyone know if this is the case??

Also the rear spoiler is only availible when you purchase a complete decklid, anyone had the same issue??

The whole kit in total EXCLUDING the spoiler is GBP £400. Is this a pretty good price, cheers guys.
