Default check this out!! pre facelift A8 with bi-xenon one piece headlight

I found this on ebay germany. very nice 1995 A8 with modified front bumper and headlights I believe. I love to have those bi-xenons modified into my 97 A8, I wonder how hard it would be to fit it in without changing the front end.

Paul,this would be a very nice mod to consider as well? How hard do you think it would be?

Here is the link to the auction:

Default Definitely a facelift bumper and one-piece headlight- I wonder how much work......

that concersion was? I've heard that the fender cutout in the pre-facelift models is different, so the one piece headlights are not a drop-in. I'd also like to know how hard it was to get that facelift bumper on a pre-facelift model (like mine).

Default I've seen that type mode (+)

One '98 S8's owner replaced headlight to one-piece bi-xenon headlight. For this, he was forced to replace: front bamper, bonnet, front wings, front panel, both radiators(motor & A/C), panel for fans. These was done by OOOO dealer.
I'dont know how much its cost.
I think, far better way - to sale old car and buy another with proper year.
Yet another reason - restore crushed car.

Default The whole front end has to be changed

If you notice, it has the 00 and newer style side marker lights, which means it has new quarter panels, new front bumper, I believe radiator supports, wiring changes for the lights, etc.

Don't know if you saw, but there is a new poster here who has a 98 and did this (without bixenons), he owns a body shop and replaced the whole front end basically. Do a search for it in the last 3 weeks, use "paulw facelift" or somethintg like that. The guy's car pictures are dark, his car is painted a Porsche dark grey as I recall.
