    This sucks, someone did a hit and run on me. Front bumper is messed up. Anyone know a reliable source where I can get an RS3 front bumper? I've searched and came up with a bunch of sources from China. No reviews on the product itself. Thanks

    Europrice might be able to get one?

    Isn't the fit difficult without bodywork because of the fender flares?

    Find Michael Mai on Facebook, he has the front rear and sides that for the width of the PFL 8vs. I have the bumper which I imported from China and love it.

    Since there is a facelifted RS3 sedan there are sedan specific front fenders. The fenders between pre and post-facelift A3/S3 sedan models are the same.

    The only issue I would see is that the RS3 pre-facelift front bumper is specifically for the Sportback which uses a different fender. Same headlight, so that shape is right, but makes me wonder about the edge where the bumper meets the fender not being entirely the same shape. The guide where the bumper clips to the edge of the fender is sportback vs. sedan specific which would indicate a difference, possibly in length or shape.

    Only way to confirm would be with some measurements, though I would suspect a good bodyshop could make an RS3 pre-facelift sportback front bumper fit with RS3 post-facelift sedan front fenders. Anyone want to try?

    Cheers,

    The version above compensates for the smaller width of the fenders. So it's pretty much a direct swap.

    Oem rs3 bumpers will not fit 100% without the front rs3 fenders.

    Facelifted cars, there is no aftermarket solution... yet.

    Can you send a link to him or his shop? I am trying to get this bumper too... also is it durable/reliable or cheap and flimsy? Thanks!
