Default left out the center grille, filler and s-line badge ;-)

the grille has an indent for the badge so it'd look bad without it. Supposedly the stock grille is different in dimensions from the S-line.

My guess is ~$900-1k in parts alone.

Default wow, that is nuts!

well I just saw a lava gray S-line. I have lava gray. Now that I've seen my color with a body kit of some sort, I'm starting to dislike the standard front bumper.

I may go votex or s-line, but it seems the s-line is going to require a lot of work, extra coin. Plus, I don't have an s-line, so that is kind of corny. Like putting a cobra hood on a GT. Big NO-NO in my book!

Default Lol! Like when people slap an M logo on their 325i ;-)

I personally would never do things like swapping unless the internals are the same if you know what I mean. When I see people do that it just says to me you only can dream of having the real thing (whether that's true or not).

Default main grille lists for ~$100 or so.

some rough list prices

cover is $400
grilles L&R are $50 each.
reflectors are $25 each
tow hook cover is $17
fog lamps are $100 each
main grille is $100 ish

So $850 for nearly every single possible part you can throw at it.

What is actually required
cover
reflectors
tow hook cover
main grille
about $567

I'd live without fog lamps and I'd make some mesh grilles for the sides... those openings are great for brake ducts or an oil cooler.

It's even funnier when they don't remove the 325 part ;-)

As long as you dont start putting S-Line badges on youre fine, hell the 3.2 isnt even a real S-Line


Quick Reply: A3 / A3 S-line front end swap?
