Is it the prestige model that has the sportier front and rear bumpers?
I did a search and this seems to be the case. Also, I've seen both 18" & 19" wheels in the prestige S-line model. Are the 19" wheels a standard in the prestige model or not. Again most threads say 18" wheels but I see a few posts indicating 19" wheels. Please clarify. Thanks.

The 18" wheels are standard on the Prestige (highest) trim level.
The different bumpers are part of the S-Line package which also includes 19" wheels. 19" wheels are also available as part of a sports suspension package on the Prestige trim level.

I wonder about that myself... I'd almost rather have the sports package and 18" wheels.
Chiefly because I'd worry about dinging up the wheels on some of the crappier roads we've got here in SC. I don't think the ride will be all that harsh, no way they'd let the car out the door if it bruised your kidneys. I imagine Drive Select will help with that quite a bit as well. That way you can bruise your kidneys if you want and then set it to comfort for bringing eggs home from the store. Or so I hope.

So all s-line trim levels have the aggresive bumpers? A post said only prestige...
trim level has these sportier bumpers. If these bumpers are available on all of the B8 S-line trims , then I'll order the lowest S-line trim. Please verify if this is true since the salesman I was speaking with looked at me as if I knew some classified info that I wasn't supposed to be aware of.
Also, it sounds like the 18's are standard for any s-line trim from what you guys are saying, and the 19's are an additional option for more more money. Is this correct?

S-line is currently only available on the top line Prestige trim
I don't know what the price difference between the S-line and 19" sport package is, but I would be more inclined to go with 19" sport package which gets you the same 19" wheels/tires, 3-spoke wheel, sport suspension and sport seats as the S-line. I could do without Alcantara inserts, black headliner, brushed aluminum trim and the more aggressive bumpers. With the S-line you are limited to black interior with aluminum, while the sport package allows you to get the other two interior colors and wood trim.

Re: Will ride be too harsh with 19" wheels + sports suspension?
Nope. I have 19"´s with sports suspension ja I really like it. It´s compliant enough in everyday traffic and quite a lot of fun in the b-roads. Very nice indeed!
