Okay, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but I think you guys are a little off. The Oetty front bumper is like the S3 bumper. It is a little shorter than the stock US A3's. You'll be able to fit the Oetty mesh front grill on the A3, but there will be a little gap at the bottom of the grill, between the bottom of the bumper and mesh of the grill.


Good luck



Cheers!

Chef...i didn't know you were a bulb!



I thought i had read somewhere about that, and thats why I asked in the first place to double check. I think youre right with that. anyone have concrete evidence? Will it look bad? How big is the gap exactly. A really high end body shop in Century City told me that it fits with both regular AND s-line bumpers. I thought they were off with that.

from the pics I saw it didn't look bad at all. If Chef wants to, he can show you pics of his S3 grill I think I remember him posting them showing the gap and it wasnt noticeable at all.

Here is the picture of my S3 grill:

I looked really closely at Lectrolink's Oetty grill/bumper last weekend and it looked like a S3 front bumper in both size and length. I could be wrong, but don't assume that I'm not.



Cheers!

Thanks Chef.
Much appreciated, i will tend to agree that the OSIR kit is different, and sets you apart from the everyday.
I love clean/elegant and simple.
But the kit is a bit pricey, not to say that the oetty kit is much better.
I guess when it comes onto the good stuff it doesnt come cheap.
