All i did was cut the two center bits down and each end then drilled through it and screwed it to my bumper it was only £20

It was not too big of a drop the 19s really lifted it up, they rup when u have four people in, but fine other than that. they dont at all on 18s. The ride is brillant not much different but feels abit better in the corners, i want to go lower so i have ordered some new coil overs to drop it.

Great job with your A3 so far [Y] Really liking the LCR Splitter - helps to better define the front end.

How much did the S-Line bumper set you back?

Cheers mate my pal works in a garage and was fitting one on a leon so i just held it to mine and it looked ok so i ordered one in and fitted the next day. (just fogs now lol)

I payed £150 for the bumper and £80 for the bonnet off ebay

looks really good, ye i know you pick that splitter from any seat dealer for £20, but do you have to break off all the other clips round the splitter?,also what make of springs you got on?, i am so consused to which springs to get, i have a sport on 18" alloys, as you must know the sport is 15mm lower than the standard, so i was thinking of getting these, h & R 35mm

so i am thinking if i put these on it will lower my car by 20mm, as it is 15mm lower than standard, dont know how it will look, but if i go for the 50mm springs i am sure it will wearout my shocks even quicker, any thoughts matey

Car looks sweeett

Very nice

Was it just the bumper and bonnet you had to change or was there any other bits ?

I heard that you had to change the bumper enforcer too ?

Cheers

Hi mate

No i just changed bonnet and bumper and it fits fine, it it not a hard job to do, i did it on my drive with the car sat on the floor with the wheels on, it is easier with a lift but u dont need one,
