Ok so I've mastered the art of declaring (visually) if an A3 has the sport or premium package but have yet to really have the skill for B7's. So... what cosmetic differences stand out to determine if it has the sport package? I'm guessing it might be aluminum trim and I'd imagine something with the rims? And I thought I had it down until I started looking at the B7s.... [:'(]

 

S-Line Bumper... S-line front grille (a tad bigger and the interior slits are further apart, looks better ) , Sport suspension, Sline 5 spoke 18" Rims, Built in rear trunk lip.. Sline steering wheel and shift ****.. prolly missing something else.. but Sline is the way to go. OH ya door blades.. looks aweseom compared to the flat blades on non sline.

 

I know what the S-Line intails, just hard to really spots I guess. With A3's, all you have to do is look for the rear spoiler. Done. Is there any one thing that can easily instantly determine the sport package?

 

Well, if it's an '08 they all look like the 05.5+ S-line. But if it isn't...I can usually tell by the grill or the doorblades.

This has a blackout grill, but it still is S-line; imagine it with a brushed aluminum trim instead.

 

that a4 in the pic has the "Titanium Package" which is basically no chrome trim except for the rings on the front and rear and the badges. also, black headliner and interior. it also includes the 18' 15 spokeflat grey color wheels. if you notice this the car is def. S line. you can only add the titanium package to an S line vehicle. i'll attach a pic of my ride but it's kinda crappy so you can see the interior and side view with the titanium package.

 

Ok well that one is obvious, hence the badge... but I'll start comparing the grill design, think I get what you were hinting at: S-Line has vert. and horiz. grill when premium has just the horiz. slats.

 

Its so easy, it has the S-Line badge on the rear doors [sm=roll.gif]

 

Only on 2007+

 

My 08' has the titanium package...I personally love the piano black trimmings throughout the whole car.. I think that black A4 might have gotten those side view mirrors after he bought the car.. Cause mine has no chrome or silver, only on the audi badge in the front and back. I might just love the piano black because my a4 is white and it just accents it so perfectly, especially the flat black grill.

 

The front grille, and the rear defuser...at least thats how i could tell. An A4 that is...The SE's have flat black door panels outside also
