***S-Line Front Bumper Conversion Thread***

[NPuter]

I have received many requests on the details regarding the S-Line front bumper conversion. I have done extensive research on the topic and pretty much have every detail figured out. The bumper is a direct fit around the hood and fenders. However, you will need some additional hardware to make the install 100% OEM.

Parts that are needed:

• x1 S-Line Bumper Cover:. Primed: 8K0 807 105 D GRU
• x1 S-Line Fog Grille - Left:. w/ Chrome Ring: 8K0 807 681 C 01C | w/ Matte Black Ring: 8K0 807 681 C ZDE
• x1 S-Line Fog Grille - Right:. w/ Chrome Ring: 8K0 807 682 C 01C | w/ Matte Black Ring: 8K0 807 682 C ZDE
• x1 S-Line Splitter/Spoiler:. Platinum Grey: 8K0 807 110 1RR | Matte Black: 8K0 807 110 3FZ | Matte Alu (S4): 8K0 807 110 A2ZZ
• x1 S-Line Vertical Slats:. 8K0 807 899
• x3 S-Line Splitter Expansion Plugs:. N 038 549 1
• x1 S-Line End Plate:. 8K0 807 233 B
• x10 Screw:. WHT 005 764

Install Notes:

End Plate:

The S-Line End-Plate is not 100% necessary. The non-sline end plate fits, but you have to bend it in certain places to force it to fit. All original hardware can be used to install the S-Line End Plate.
Here is what the interior of the S-Line bumper looks like with non-sline end plate:



Notice how the end plate is bent/contorted into a forced fit.

Splitter + Vertical Slats + Expansion Plugs

The Splitter is one of my favorite aspects of the S-Line bumper. Basically, the S-Line bumper has a removable splitter that comes in 3 different colors (listed in parts list). In addition, various tuning companies have created carbon fiber splitters, etc.

The S-Line bumper cover has a plastic piece that runs from either end of the "protrusions" of the bumper that is used to secure the splitter. The splitter slides over this piece and is installed with 4 of the above screws. Once the splitter is installed, the vertical slats can be installed. The horizontal plastic piece that the three slats protrude from fits on the back of the bumper directly below the grille. There are tabs, etc, which align this piece for you. The three vertical slat protrusions are secured behind the splitter. You will use 6 screws to install the vertical slats - 3 for the top and 3 for the bottom.

The 3 expansion plugs secure the center part of the splitter. These plugs are inserted from the bottom part of the splitter towards the top. Once the plug is inserted, push the plastic cylinder protrudes from the flat part of the plug to secure it. This plastic cylinder causes the teeth of the plug to expand creating a secure fit.

Here is a picture (credit: dkky996) that shows the splitter, vertical slats, and expansion plugs installed:

Great thread. Have to say from our experience the splitter doesn't look bad without the "teeth" installed either. Also, the part number comes with 3 teeth so only order one. They seem to be the most misplaced/lost item by body shops as well :(

[MilesM]

Thanks for this thread Nick, I'm sure it will help a lot of people like you helped me.

For comparison sake, I think S Line is worth it.

Non S Line:

now you just need wheel conversion

Nick you are the MAN! Your posts are always super helpful. BTW: Have you thought of changing your avatar name to: St-NPuter :)

[NPuter]

Just realized the P/N for the screws cannot be found on genuine. I will cross check the number - I am pretty sure it is correct though.
The weird thing is it is not listed in ETKA for the front bumper. I tried basically every screw listed on the bumper section of ETKA and couldn't find the correct one. (I knew what it was should look like because I saw them on an S4) I don't know how the parts guy at my dealership came up with the number, but he did. I still have the plastic bag the screws came in so I'll run out to the garage and check that.

Just FYI, total price according to genuine is ~$950 including shipping.

Hallo. Do you know the part number of the 3 expansion plugs that secure the center part of the splitter that show on the picture above? I mean this 3 plugs that connect the splitter and the bumper.

I believe you are talking about the vertical slats. The part number is posted in my original post... (You only need to order one, all three are connected in one piece...)

no, they will absolutely not fit.

no, they will absolutely not fit.

Non S-Line fog light grilles are completely different shape than S-Line fog light grilles. That is why S-Line front bumper looks so much better. Vertical teeth, 3 on S-Line, 4 on non S-Line, not a big deal.
I 'converted' my fog light grilles back in 7/10 from non to S-Line


For 75-100 hours time converting per fog grille and purchasing S-Line fog grilles (approx. $45-$55 each IIRC) IMO better to spend extra money and do complete S-Line bumper conversion as NPuter here has done
Old over-exposed pic, sorry, only one I've got.

It's called a strap: 8K0 807 899. When you look at it on ETKA illustration 807-00 it will be number 23 which can be a bit misleading. Also bolts that are labeled 22 will be diffrent (shorter) for S-Line.

[RJT1534]

$1,123 shipped from Genuine. i can still use my non-sline grille for this conversion right??

lookin now for a set of E-codes or US-spec xenon headlights.

Sorry for bringing back such an old thread, but just to confirm, is [WHT 005 764] the correct part number for the screws?

For part x3 S-Line Splitter Expansion Plugs:. N 038 549 1

Are we able to not install these? I just don't like the looks of splitter.

Those are just little plugs that hold the splitter and the plastic of the bumper together more securely. You don't have to install them, but there is no reason not to - they cannot be seen. You have to install the splitter.

[pinoyzoi]

ahh alright thanks

Where do I buy the parts? I go to my local audi dealership website part center but when i put the serial number it only shows the bumper cover and nothing else?

hello guys, where exactly do I use "x3 S-Line Splitter Expansion Plugs:. N 038 549 1" ??

I am more or less sure about the other parts, but this confuses me.

Thank you for info

I just completed my order for the conversion also.

[dubak]

thank you sir,

I think I will understand once the parts come.

Can't wait for the conversion!

I msged Audi of Livermore and this is what I received:

"Hello there,

The price for the parts list that you listed comes out to

2753.96$ + 600$ in labor = 3353.96$ for the conversion.

Labor is a rough estimate however we do not do the conversion here in house, you would have to have it done at our local body shop B&S Hacienda. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Most absurd quote ever. I priced the listed parts around $1018 on genuineaudiparts.com. I'm also pretty sure you don't need 10 plates at $115/each (8K0-807-233-B PLATE 0 NS 10 115.50)... that was worked into the quote above. WTF -- avoid them like the plague.
