  • Eventually I managed to get my hands on a genuine S3 bumper and in this video I take you through the process of fitting one of these beauties to a bang average A3, including the little speed bumps along the way. Leave a comment below if you like the video and give it a thumbs up while you are there because the end result is unreal!

    Inspiring videos dude! I've got a A3 8PA sportback but someone decided to cut out a massive chunk in the rear diffuser for a towbar. Not sure whether to just replace the rear diffuser for a better one. Is there much difference between an A3 vs S3 bumper?

  • @user-sj1mw1mh1v
    @user-sj1mw1mh1v 2 года назад

    Okay, so I've seen somwhere in the comments that on the none S-line bumper you can replace the rear diffuser from standard to s3 and there's no need to buy a whole new bumper. Is this correct? I have a black trim where the diffuser is meant to sit which looks like it can be seperated from the bumper. Not too sure.

    • @matimcfetridge
      @matimcfetridge  2 года назад

      My old bumper was s line so cant help you with this Im afraid, it does ring a bell though as some of the bumpers come in separate parts. To be honest though the full bumpers arent that expensive, go watch my latest video for a price breakdown on everything!

    • @matimcfetridge

      Sure would mate, rear bumpers are interchangeable between model years on the 8P. Aslong as its 3dr or 5dr

    • @matimcfetridge
      @matimcfetridge  2 года назад

      Believe rear bumpers you can swap as you like as long as you stick to 3/5dr. Front wise I believe you have to keep to pre/facelift unless you change the wings/bonnet/headlights too!
