front end differences?
i'm finally getting around to fixing the front end on my a4. it t-boned another car and needs all new metal on the front. i'm having a hard time finding parts for the 1999.5-01 but i can find plenty for the earlier cars. i know a complete front clip off an earlier car would work, but i want to keep my 1 piece headlights. so here is my question, can i use an earlier hood and fenders but keep my headlights? also can i use an earlier hood with the later fenders and my headlights? is the only difference on the fenders the side marker light? and what is the difference on the hoods?
|
anyone know?

I'm not too sure about the hood but from what I know they should be the same.
As for fenders, the differences are the side markers (like you mentioned) and the Audi emblems on the sides. Also there is a slight modification (cutting) that is necessary to fit the one piece headlights if you're using the older fenders. |
kriptonik got it correct, and the only difference in hoods is the placement of the windshield sprayers which is easy to mod with a piece of tubing.
|
so what do i have to cut to get the headlights to fit?
does the trim swap over? i think the older ones have a narrower piece of trim |
