Default Want to upgrade grill/bonnet(?)+Bumper from 2000 8L to 8P model please?

Hi,
Im a newbie. I have just bought a Y reg black A3, im extremely happy with it but i really would like to upgrade it to incorporate the newer grill.
Please can i ask what the best way to do this is?
I have found this site:
Bonnet Audi A3 8L

But is fibreglass recommended? A good friend has recommended leaving this and going for an upgrade to the S-line (or is it 'S3'?)but im not sure if this includes the newer grill?

Please try and help a naive new A3 owner....!

Thank you in advance.

fiberglass is cheaper than polyurethane and will crack more easily. you would need to watch out for dips and speed bumps with the fiberglass. polyurethane is more pliable and has more flex while the fiberglass is more rigid.
